https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=458390 Karnataka HC dismissed a petition seeking to quash dishonour of cheque proceedings against directors of Cafe Coffee Day. Petitioners argued the complaint was not filed against a juristic person, making it non-maintainable. The court held that despite the complaint naming "M/s Cafe Coffee Day" without "Global Limited," the notice was issued against the juristic entity and its directors. The company acknowledged the notice and made partial payment of Rs. 12 lakhs. The court ruled that technical defects cannot defeat substantive justice, and defences should be considered during trial, not at the quashing stage. en-us Wed, 31 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 24 Oct 2024 19:42:46 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=458390 Karnataka HC dismissed a petition seeking to quash dishonour of cheque proceedings against directors of Cafe Coffee Day.
