Cognizance of a time-barred complaint under s.138 NI Act was held impermissible unless the court first records satisfaction of "sufficient cause" and condones the delay, as the proviso makes condonation a condition precedent and limitation-linked proceedings do not validly enter the court's file without such condonation.
