Notice under section 138 of negotiable instrument act

and what about the reply which has been received after the 15 days period?

So much of confusion:

1. Under S.138, any form of written communication which can be proved if asked can be treated as notice (email / letter / UPC / registered post). Best stick to UPC/ Registered AD / Speed Post. There is absolutely no need to involve lawyer at this stage, just the plane facts like number / amount / date about cheque and dishonor of the cheque is sufficient, simply demanding money only as per cheque within 15 days of receipt of notice. 

2. Make sure that once you have sent the notice on dishonor then pursue the case. Cause of action arises on completion of 15 Days from the date of receipt of notice by accused, which either he should acknowledge or you may know by registered AD. If you do not know about notice receipt and you are confident that the address of accused was correct, then you must initiate complaint  within 15+30 = 45 Days. (within 30 days after giving 15 days to accused if you are sure when he received the notice). 

3. If due to negligence or otherwise, you do not initiate the case after giving notice, then subsequent dishonor will be useless for you, as S.138 will not be applicable. So please give notice only once.

Javid Sir,

In addition to this debate, I want to add a more important thing. The Notice means Legal/Demand Notice. If drawee sent legal/demand notice to defaulter, no further notice can be sent. Its illegal and sufficeint cause to loose the case.

If I am wrong please tell me please.

Mr. javid Nazeem is perfectly right..

Sirs how many times a cheque can be submitted to the bank after subsequent promises or bouncings within a six month period....for my knowledge....

Dear Dr. Rao,

You can present a cheque any number of times during the period of its validity, and each dishonout shall give you a new cause of action to initiate the statutory process, by way of filing a complaint before the court. This legal position has been recently propounded by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, in the matter of MSR Leathers Vs. S. Palaniappan.

Regards,

Anuj Tyagi,
