A few months ago, I had sold some goods to a client in Shimla and received Cheque in Chandigarh, which bounced.
I had to initiated a cheque bounce case in Shimla as the client is in Shimla, while my company is based in Chandigarh and goods were sold & billing was done and Cheques received here in Chandigarh.
However there is a new artical in Times of India today that Union Cabinet of India had cleared ammendments to the Negotiable Instruments Act to once agian make it possible to file a case from where a holder of cheque is based.
Could some one please guide as to exact legal refference source of Information., which can be sited in court to change the jurisdiction to chandigarh. Thanks (ikesh123@hotmail.com)

The decision taken by the cabinet has to become the part of the Act by introduction in the coming session of the parliament which definitely shall take some time and it is not good to wait till that time. Initiate your action accordingly.

Any amendment is effective after passing from parliament and notification and not from approval date of cabinet.
