https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=392799 For complaints under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, the one-month limitation under Section 142(b) is computed by excluding the date on which the cause of action arises. The term "month" is treated as a calendar month under the General Clauses Act, and the day of accrual is left out while counting limitation. Applying that method, a complaint filed on 31.10.2000 after the cause of action arose on 30.09.2000 was within time and not barred. The contrary view was treated as incorrect, and the larger bench approach on computation of limitation was followed. en-us Fri, 07 Feb 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 07 Nov 2024 11:25:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=392799 For complaints under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, the one-month limitation under Section 142(b) is computed by excluding the date on which the cause of action arises.
