Dear Gupta Ji,

There is no restriction to file single complaint for multiple dishounour of cheques.

This even i knew, but my problem is.........

6 different cause of action took place by different notices, can all be clubbed in single complaint ?

If i am wrong pl clear me.

Thanks.

Dear Anu..

If all dates, on which the cause of action arises, permitts a limitation in which you can file a single complaint than the Single complaint can be considered. For further clarification if you are filing that single complaint on the date, which is statisfying the limitation period for all cause of actions, than it is valid.

The same has been discussed in these rulings also.

Correct if i am wrong.

Thanks.
