Cheque bounce case: Court fines man ₹10K for 'mischievous' plea
The Morning Standard
|August 23, 2025
A Delhi court has come down heavily on a litigant for what it described as a "mischievous" attempt to misuse judicial remedies, imposing a fine of ₹10,000 and dismissing his petition.
The court stressed that while access to justice is fundamental, it cannot be abused to create chaos, delay proceedings or obstruct the course of law.
The matter arose from a revision petition filed by Soumya Ranjan Kanungo, who challenged a magistrate's August 2024 order refusing to stay a non-bailable warrant (NBW) issued against him in a cheque bounce case. Additional sessions judge Bhupinder Singh, in an order dated August 18, observed that the magistrate's decision was correct, as the warrant was issued only to secure Kanungo's appearance and did not affect his legal rights.
