Legal notice in 138 Notice.

I issued a legal notice to A on behalf my client. But while issuing notice due to over sight the date was mentioned as "1-00" instead of 4-2-2008. But the said notice was posted on 4-2-2008 only. Cheque number and all the contents in the notice are correct. Is their any danger for my case. Please know me the case laws too.

It is a bonafide error. No law is required. human error. It won't advsersly effect your case for the reasons as follows:


the date of posting is 4-2-2008


The figures 1-00 does not represent any year as there is no date and complete year.


the date of issue of cheque


the date of bouncing


the liability for discharge


But remeber try to avoid some errors which may tell upon the professional carefulness.

 Thanks Mr. Suresh . I will mind your advise to protect my professional career.

If you are worried about your case just deposite the cheque in the bank again if it is in limitation period. Again on bouncing of cheque you again deliver the notice and after 15 days file the compain case u/s 138 N.I.Act in the competent court. But first of all drop the case if you have filed.

dont worry sanjay saab




 


go ahead with ur case.




 


it is just a human typing/ clerical error as all other facts are enough to prove this fact.




 


waise be careful in future coz it will not effect the case but it may effect ur crediblity specially keeping in view the nature of our profession. 




 


take care

Technical and clerical mistakes only. To err is human. I am sure the Court will understand and there is no need to panic.
