Скачать или смотреть New Supreme Court guidelines for cheque bouncing | Section 138 negotiable Instruments Act

Recent legal updates and court rulings have clarified the procedures for cheque bounce cases under the Negotiable Instruments Act and the new Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). According to recent judicial guidance, victims appealing an acquittal must now approach the Court of Session rather than seeking special leave from the High Court. The judiciary has emphasized that statutory presumptions favor the complainant once a signature is admitted, meaning courts cannot conduct "mini-trials" to quash cases based on disputed facts like financial capacity or whether a cheque was for security. Furthermore, the Delhi High Court clarified that there is no mandatory 45-day waiting period to file a complaint; instead, the law mandates a 15-day notice period followed by a one-month window to initiate action. To address the massive backlog of litigation, the Supreme Court has introduced standardized filing formats and revised costs for settling disputes at various stages of the legal process. These combined measures aim to streamline criminal and civil remedies, ensuring that technical objections do not derail the accountability of the drawer.
