https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=458302 Section 142(b) of the Negotiable Instruments Act allows a complaint filed beyond the prescribed period to be entertained if sufficient cause for delay is shown. The court must consider the materials supporting condonation and hear the accused before condoning delay, though a detailed trial is not required at that stage. A complaint cannot be dismissed on limitation alone without examining the condonation request. The dismissal was set aside and the matter remanded for fresh consideration of the delay issue after notice to the accused and an opportunity to adduce evidence. en-us Thu, 06 Jun 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Sun, 20 Oct 2024 17:28:34 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=458302 Section 142(b) of the Negotiable Instruments Act allows a complaint filed beyond the prescribed period to be entertained if sufficient cause for delay is shown.
