https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=293824 Section 138 cheque dishonour cases are to be tried summarily and expeditiously, with complainant evidence ordinarily taken within three months, trial endeavoured to finish within six months, and day-to-day hearing adopted as far as practicable. To reduce delay, the Court called for pragmatic service of summons, bank sharing of accused contact details, use of coercive process where necessary, and coordinated measures involving courts, police, banks and legal services bodies. It also invited pre-litigation settlement through Lok Adalats, technology-enabled filing and online procedures for suitable cases, and consideration of exclusive courts and revised disposal norms. Decriminalisation of small-value cheque dishonour was flagged for further consideration. en-us Thu, 05 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 13 Nov 2024 11:02:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=293824 Section 138 cheque dishonour cases are to be tried summarily and expeditiously, with complainant evidence ordinarily taken within three months, trial endeavoured to finish within six months, and day-to-day hearing adopted as far as practicable.
