https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=295590 Complaints under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act were held not maintainable where post-dated cheques were presented beyond six months from the date they were actually made and signed. A post-dated cheque is not invalid merely because it bears a later date, but for Section 138 liability the relevant date is the date of drawing, not the date written on the cheque. The presumption under Section 118 that an instrument bears its date can be displaced by evidence showing the cheque was post-dated. No offence is made out unless timely presentation, statutory notice, and failure to pay are all satisfied. en-us Tue, 21 Jan 1992 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 14:02:23 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=295590 Complaints under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act were held not maintainable where post-dated cheques were presented beyond six months from the date they were actually made and signed.
