DEFENSE ADVOCATE.-firmaction@g (POWER OF DEFENSE IS IMMENSE )     05 June 2013

This problem works from both sides.

A) If you file multiple cases the accused will ask for its consolidation and

B) If you file one case for multiple cheques accused can ask for separate cases.

ON THIS ISSUE THE ACCUSED HAS RIGHT FOR MULTIPLE TRIALS AND MAY GO IN REVISION IF LOWER COURT DO NOT AGREE.

 

HOWEVER THIS MAY REMAIN IN THEORY SINCE THE CHEQUE LAW IS BEING CHANGED.

 

CHEQUE LAWS ARE BEING CHANGED.

 

1)    Most of the banks along with others were misusing the cheque bounce law for recovery of  NPA s.

 

2)    However reverse started happening.

 

3)    Cheque bounce law being criminal and technical law so many cases get dismissed due to expert legal assistance.

 

4)    Even where accused loose the case, the courts order payment in one go otherwise jail terms.

 

5)    It is not possible for the accused to pay in one go and so either they go first for APPEAL than may be to jail or abscond.

 IN ALL SUCH CASES MONEY IS NOT RECOVERED.

NPA s  started increasing.

 

6)    Govt has woken up to this dilemma  and have decided to send all cheque bounce cases for ARBITRATION.

 

7)    NI act will be amended and its effect to come to lower level may take some time .

 

8)    In the long run it will be great relief to both sides.

 

9)    Courts were also getting clogged due to cheque cases will also be benefited.

 

The never ending cycle of more courts, more strict law will also come to an end.

MANOJ HARIT (LAWYER)     06 June 2013

Mr. Social Worker, Your last post is very "crude" and downright "absurd". U hv no business abusing ADVOCATE DEFENSE. He is an asset to this forum and numerous ppl hv benefited by his advise. So have some decency. 

DEFENSE ADVOCATE.-firmaction@g (POWER OF DEFENSE IS IMMENSE )     06 June 2013

Well good  and nice of  you Mr Manoj. But this person is only litigant  and may be in over confidence made such comments.

 

HOWEVER i GET MOST OF THE ADVERSE COMMENTS FROM ADVOCATES WHO HAVE NO PRACTICAL KNOWLDEGE OF ACTUAL COURT ROOM PRACTICE AND JUST PASS COMMENTS OR GIVE OPINIONS JUST TO CONTRADICT ME.

 

 This is the part of the game and I am not looser since I get more publicity since when others read my comments they instantly find the difference.

MANU/DE/0196/2012

IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI

Crl. M.C. No. 2351/2011

Decided On: 17.01.2012

Appellants: Sharma Contracts (India) Pvt. Ltd.
Vs.
Respondent: State & Anr.

Hon'ble Judges:
Hon'ble Mr. Suresh Kait

Counsels:
For Appellant/Petitioner/Plaintiff: Mr. Subhasish Mohanty, Adv.

For Respondents/Defendant: Ms. Ritu Gauba, APP for State, Mr. J.K. Bhola, Adv. for Respondent No. 2

Subject: Criminal

Acts/Rules/Orders:
Negotiable Instruments Act - Section 138; Code of Criminal Procedural (CrPC), 1860 - Section 219, Code of Criminal Procedural (CrPC), 1860 - Section ; Code of Criminal Procedural (CrPC), 1860 - Section 220(1); Indian Penal Code 1860 - Section 379; Indian Penal Code 1860 - section 380

Case Note:

Criminal - Quashing of Summon - Section 219 of Criminal Procedural Code, 1860 (Cr.PC) and Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act - Present petition filed for quashing of summon issued by trial Court against Petitioner - Held, out of 25 cheques, 14 cheques were dishonoured on different dates for reasons "Exceed Arrangements" - Petitioner had raised legal issue vide instant petition that Respondent No. 2 filed one complaint in regard to all 14 cheques - Vide order trial Court had issued summons to Petitioners Nos. 1 to 3 - Petitioner submits that when a person commits more offences than one of same kind committed within a period of 12 months from first to last of such offences whether in respect of same person or not, he might be charged with and tried by one trial for any number of them not exceeding three - Therefore, filing of one complaint against dishonour of 14 cheques was barred by Section 219 of Cr.PC - In Lalit Fabrics Private Limited v. Linkers Associates Limited, wherein it was held that all cheques were of different dates and on presentations, said cheques were dishonoured from time to time for reasons of "Insufficient Funds", could not be said to lose its right to initiate criminal complaint merely on ground that notice related to more than one cheque, such interpretation of Section 219 of Cr.PC would be contrary to very spirit of Section 138 of Act - Therefore, Court was of opinion that notice in respect of more than one cheques disentitles payee to initiate action under Section 138 of Act - Mere reference in complaint to 20 cheques as having been dishonoured could not render complaint bad in law or not maintainable - Order of trial Court issuing summon did not get invalidated on that score - Keeping in view above discussion, Court not inclined to interfere with order passed by trial Court - Accordingly, Petition was dismissed

JUDGMENT

Ashish Singla 098140 76600 (Cheque Victim's Lawyer. LUDHIANA (PB))     09 June 2013

Mr. Ashok.

This is common plateform to share and discuss our some problems in case some time we people face, rather its best way to find multiple solutions of some particular situations. I feel we all always find best solutions by dicussing here which is available free of cost.

So please do not adopt such a attitude in future which is hearting any body. You can accept any thing which serves your purpose and leave else.

ashok kumar (Social Worker)     09 June 2013
