Case of Georgekutty Chacko vs Mn Saji, SC Judgement Dated 1st September 2025. The apex court held that courts cannot reduce the decretal amount merely because a portion of the consideration was paid in cash without documentary evidence. The judgment establishes that the absence of documentary proof for cash transactions does not negate their validity, particularly when supported by an executed promissory note that remains undisputed. The Court emphasized the practical reality of cash components in financial transactions and shifted the burden of proof to the debtor to disprove the transaction rather than requiring the creditor to provide documentary evidence for cash payments.
