https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=391728 A complaint under the Negotiable Instruments Act was held not maintainable where the statutory demand notice was issued beyond 30 days from receipt of information of cheque dishonour. The record showed dishonour on 02.01.2017 and immediate knowledge by the complainant, but the notice was sent only on 06.02.2017. As Section 138 requires timely dispatch of the demand notice as a condition precedent, non-compliance with that period defeated the prosecution. The complaint was therefore quashed. en-us Thu, 30 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 05 Feb 2020 16:34:24 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=391728 A complaint under the Negotiable Instruments Act was held not maintainable where the statutory demand notice was issued beyond 30 days from receipt of information of cheque dishonour.
