Mumbai Court Jails Man in Cheque Bounce Case Involving Nurse
A retired nurse in Mumbai sued a man for a bounced check.
The man had borrowed money in 2014 and gave two checks as payment, but they didn't have enough money in the bank.
The court agreed with the nurse, sentenced the man to jail for a year, and told him to pay back double the amount he borrowed.
The man tried to claim he paid high interest, but the court didn't believe him.
A 72-year-old retired nurse won a cheque bounce case in Mumbai.
The defendant was sentenced to one year of simple imprisonment.
The court ordered the accused to repay double the borrowed amount.
The case stemmed from a 2014 loan for the accused's daughter's medical treatment.
The court rejected the defendant's claim of exorbitant interest and insufficient evidence.
