Now the company has filed a case against me us 138 NI ACT. CAN ANYBODY GIVE ME SOME JUDGEMENT FAVOURING THE CHQ ISSUER MENTIONING THE DIFFERENCE OF SIGNATURE. PL INTIMATEE AT THE EARLIEST. THANKS
In the case of Vinita S. Rao v. Essen Corporate Services (P) Ltd., (2015) 1 SCC 527, the Supreme Court remitted the case back to the High Court by setting aside its order, inter alia, on the ground that the cheques which were dishonoured were issued as a security and that there was no crystallised liability or outstanding dues.
Thus, it is clear that no offence under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act will be made out if the cheque that has been dishonoured was issued only as a security and not for discharge of any debt or liability.
