The Supreme Court had passed a landmark judgment to prevent multiplicity of proceedings. Earlier people would file cases where the drawer or drawee would reside. However, now, the case will be instituted where the cheque is deposited. In this present situation, the case will be instituted in Mumbai.

Query perused. In my considered opinion complaint under section 138 NI Act can be filed in a court within whose jurisdiction the drawee maintains his bank account. For further consultancy and legal services you may contact us.

Dear Client, if the cheque belongs to Delhi Bank/ branch, then in that case his jurisdiction arises at Delhi only, not at Mumbai, no matter where he has put the cheque or it got bounced. You may consult for reply of notice or concerned case
