Can a check bounce case be quashed in which a summons was sent to another address without serving it at the defendant's correct address and a warrant was issued? If so, which court should be approached?
It is possible to quash a check bounce case or cancel an arrest warrant if summons were incorrectly served at the wrong address, bypassing the defendant's correct location. This procedural error can be grounds for challenging the case. To proceed, you would typically approach the Trial Court, potentially through a lawyer, to present your argument and case details.

Yes, a check bounce case (proceedings under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act) can be quashed or the warrant canceled if it is proven that the summons was served at a wrong address without proper service, as this violates procedural requirements.
