A court in Udaipur has sentenced the director of Balaji Hospital to two years’ imprisonment for two separate cheque bounce offenses.
Udaipur District Court handed down a two‑year imprisonment sentence to the director of Balaji Hospital on Thursday, finding him guilty of issuing bounced cheques in two distinct cases.
The court held that the director had issued cheques that were subsequently dishonoured, violating provisions of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Both cases involved separate complainants who approached the court after the cheques were returned unpaid.
In addition to the custodial term, the judge imposed a monetary fine, underscoring the judiciary's stance on financial fraud. The ruling serves as a reminder to medical institutions and their officials that financial misconduct will attract strict legal action.
