The criminal judgment for the offense of issuing a cheque without sufficient funds does not permit any binding effect regarding the beneficiary's entitlement to the value of the cheque, the reason for its issuance, or its purpose. - The partial judgment refraining from pronouncing punishment for the cheque offense addresses only the fact of payment of its value and does not address the extent of the beneficiary's entitlement to the value of the cheque.
