https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=377060 Sections 143A and 148 of the Negotiable Instruments Act were treated as prospective in operation, meaning they could be applied only to orders passed after their commencement, including in pending complaints and appeals. Section 143A permits interim compensation at trial, while section 148 permits deposit in appeal after conviction, so both provisions may support monetary directions in pending proceedings. However, recovery must follow lawful modes, and non-payment cannot automatically lead to imprisonment, cancellation of bail, or cancellation of suspension of sentence.
