Dear Sir/Madam,

In The Negotiable Instruments Act.

The Negotiable Instruments Act, Amendment 2nd August 2018 (No.20 of 2018)

Question

Is this 20% compensation law applicable to cases filed after 2nd August, 2018 or is it applicable to all cases prior to this date also ?

The judgement of the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka is self-explanatory on the point raised by you and the HC has righly exercised its power.

1. Yes. The amendment of 20% compensation, under N.I.Act, is applicable with retrospective effect (it is surprising), for old cases as well.
