Delhi High Court considers multiplicity of cheque bounce cases vis-a-vis Section 219 CrPC; issues notice to NCTD
It was alleged that each alleged ‘dishonour’ comprised of a separate offence and even if committed on the same date (i.e., within the same year), not more than 03 such offences can be tried by way of a single complaint in view of section 219 Cr.P.C. There is no legal clarity on bar of filing more than three cheques in Section 138 of the NI Act complaint as per Section 219 CrPC; Delhi High Court issues notice to NCTD.
