https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=398177 Section 143-A of the Negotiable Instruments Act permits a trial court to direct interim deposit in a cheque dishonour prosecution after cognizance, summons, appearance and plea. Exercise of that discretion need not depend on a separate application by the complainant. Inherent jurisdiction under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is not ordinarily engaged where the accused has disclosed no defence, produced no material to rebut the statutory presumption, or demonstrated a failure of justice. A brief order does not by itself invalidate an interim-deposit direction when the record indicates application of mind. Statutory refund safeguards may address concerns over recovery if the accused ultimately succeeds. en-us Tue, 01 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 09 Sep 2020 10:17:43 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=398177 Section 143-A of the Negotiable Instruments Act permits a trial court to direct interim deposit in a cheque dishonour prosecution after cognizance, summons, appearance and plea.
