Venerated Sir,
As per your query You have raised the question with respect to counter the ruling of Supreme Court with reference to Section 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act 1881 in which SC reduced the punishment of accused. I have meticulously perusal the ruling and found that SC have not given any direction with respect to quantum of punishment inter alia nay given any direction to lower Court to reduce the punishment which is provided in Section 138 for punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to [two years], or with fine which may extend to twice the amount of the cheque, or with both.
As per my opinion we have other option of criminal case in which we can impose more punishment.
