It also held that the complaint filed in February 2015 was within time, as the relevant periods were computed from the deemed service of notice after dishonour on 22.12.2014.

No ground was found to quash the complaint, and the petition was rejected. en-us Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 06:52:03 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=390775 In a prosecution under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, the High Court noted that a demand notice sent to the correct address and returned unclaimed attracted the presumption of service, so the complaint could not fail for non-service.
