<h1>Section 143 of the Negotiable Instruments Act allows summary trials for cheque dishonor, with up to one year imprisonment.</h1> Section 143 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, empowers courts to try cases related to cheque dishonor summarily, overriding the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. These cases are handled by a Judicial Magistrate of the first class or a Metropolitan Magistrate. The Magistrate can impose a sentence of up to one year in prison and a fine exceeding five thousand rupees. If the case warrants a longer sentence or is unsuitable for summary trial, the Magistrate can order a regular trial. Trials should proceed daily and aim to conclude within six months from the complaint's filing.
