The drawer's insolvency does not by itself bar prosecution where the ingredients of the offence are otherwise made out. A demand notice is not invalid merely because it mentions an amount in excess of the cheque amount, if it still demands payment of the cheque amount. Inclusion of five cheques in one complaint does not, by itself, justify quashing the prosecution. en-us Fri, 07 Jan 1994 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 14:45:05 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=295594 In a prosecution under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, a post-dated cheque is treated as a cheque only from the date written on its face, so the six-month period is counted from that date.
