Respected Seniors,
I please you to give me a citation regarding an issue in N.I. Act.

Reply of notice is not a legal necessity but it may lead to an adverse inference if some thing new is set up at defence stage of the complaint.

you dont need citation for each and every issue . as pointed out by ashutosh it is not necessary to reply to legal notice but adverse infernce can be drawn as you failed to reply

It is common sense and no court would object to a case, when no reply to notice is given.

Why do you want not to reply if you are innosent. It appears taht you got a notice neither paid the dues of cheue nor denied liability.

no need for citation. Nothing wrong , not reply the notice. It have hidden benefits too.

Not replying the notice is always best way for accused.
If you reply you are bound by the admissions made in the reply which are very often given due to variety of reasons.
Reply also closes many doors of defense for accused which are immense.
