of <h1>Supreme Court of India Clarifies Section 143A of Negotiable Instruments Act: Interim Compensation is Discretionary, Not Mandatory.</h1> The Supreme Court of India addressed the interpretation of Section 143A of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, concerning interim compensation in cheque dishonor cases. The Court ruled that the provision is discretionary, not mandatory, emphasizing that trial courts must judiciously exercise discretion by evaluating the prima facie merits of the complainant's case and the accused's defense. The judgment outlined factors for consideration, such as the nature of the transaction, relationship between parties, and the accused's paying capacity. The Court criticized the lower courts for not applying these standards and provided guidance to ensure fairness and justice.
