A complaint for cheque dishonour is a penal proceeding, not a suit for money recovery, so non-registration of the firm does not affect maintainability. The trial court's rejection of the complaint at the threshold was therefore incorrect, and the maintainability objection based on firm registration fails. en-us Mon, 08 Sep 2003 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 18:16:12 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=109416 Section 69(2) of the Partnership Act, 1932 is confined to suits for enforcement of contractual rights and does not extend to criminal prosecution under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.
