धारा 138 चेक का अनादर वर्तमान मामले के प्रासंगिक तथ्य यह हैं कि प्रतिवादी द्वारा जारी किए गए चार चेक अपर्याप्त धन की कमी के कारण अनादरित किए गए थे - यदि चेक का अनादर एक बार कार्रवाई के कारण के रूप में सामने आ गया है, तो भुगतानकर्ता के लिए उसी चेक के साथ कार्रवाई का एक और कारण बनाना स्वीकार्य नहीं है ।
