https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=760014 A plaint seeking return of blank cheques and an injunction against their encashment was held to be barred by law where the dispute arose from a loan transaction, part repayment had been made, and a decree already existed in the connected commercial suit for the outstanding amount. The Court applied the principle that a civil suit cannot be framed to frustrate remedies available in law, including prosecution under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. It found that any grievance about the cheques could be pursued in appropriate proceedings and could not justify a suit intended to neutralize statutory remedies. The plaint was therefore rejected on the ground of bar by law. en-us Thu, 26 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 14 Oct 2024 14:39:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=760014 A plaint seeking return of blank cheques and an injunction against their encashment was held to be barred by law where the dispute arose from a loan transaction, part repayment had been made, and a decree already existed in the connected commercial suit for the outstanding amount.
