This controversy was arisen in the case of Dasrath singh decided by the supreme court. According to this judgement in such matter the case has to be registerd in the jurisdiction of the court where the drawer's bank is situated. Now the center government has passed the Ordinance in this regard to solve the controversy . Now the case can be registered in the jurisdiction of the court where the Drawer has the bank account as well as in the jurisdiction of the court where the Drawee of the cheque has his account. SO THE COMPLAINT CAN BE FILED AT CHENNAI where the Drawar has it's bank account as well as in rajasthan where the bank of Drawee is situated.
