Latest SC version on NI Act.

Dear Sir,

I wanted to fill the case u/s.138 of NI Act of dishonoured instrument against  our customer but the problem is...

1. We had been presented  this cheque 3 times for collection repeatedly as informed by  customers, but all time it is dishonoured.

2.Till the date we have not sent any legal notice to them.

3.We came to know from one advocate that - As per letest version of of Supreme court - case is not valied if instrument deposited in the bank for collectiojn more than once.

Please give us your expert advise.

Thanking you in advane.

 

Sudhakar Yeradkar.

Cheque can be presented to Bank for collection any number of times during its validity and last dishonour could be treated as cause of action to serve notice on drawer and file complaint under Section 138 - However, if once payee sends notice demanding payment from drawer of cheque then he loses his right to present the cheque again to Bank.

NO SUCH SD JUDGMENT ON NI ACT, BUT RECENT JUDGMENT SAYS THAT ANY POSTDATE

CHQ MUST BE SENT TO BANK WITH THE CONCERNT OF DRAWER,IF IT BOUNCE THEN ONLY 138 ATRACTS.
