The court partially dismissed the criminal appeal regarding the forgery of a private cheque. The prosecution argued the document was a forged authentic document, while the defense contended it was a private instrument. The court ruled that once filled, such cheques constitute authentic documents under Article 228 of the Penal Code, thereby negating the specific charge of forgery of an authentic document.
