Dear there is no any strong reason for quashing.. once your cheque is dishonored the cause of action will be arise.. and complainant can ask for his demand only, there is no require of advocate or advocate's latter head, and also not require of any act or section, which is mention in his notice.. only simple demand is enough for negotiable..

If the said letter was within the time as provided for in the Act then irrespective of the fact as you mentioned , it was a very much valid notice and the quashing would be of no help.

notice is a valid one, complaint wont be quashed on this basis.

Mr. Anonymous. I am rather astonished to see such type of questions in this forum. Is it possible to visit your profile and know about you. Such type of questions is offending the lawyers in general and is directly offending them.Notices need not be sent on letter heads and nowadays computer regime has come into existence so computer print out is enough.
