Akhadkar, a resident of Navta, Cortalim, was convicted in a criminal case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The Court had asked him to pay compensation of Rs 3.20 lakh in a cheque bounce case. Since he failed to pay the compensation amount, he was
sentenced to undergo one-year simple imprisonment.
Akhadkar further failed to appear in the criminal appeal proceedings related to his conviction after which the Court issued a non-bailable warrant (NBW) against him. The Court had asked the Vasco Police Inspector to apprehend the accused
and produce him before the court by January 27.
Following this, Akhadkar was taken into custody and he will now be produced before the Court for further legal proceedings, informed Vasco police.
