Section 138 NI Act | Typographical Errors in Demand Notice Date Do Not Invalidate Complaint If Documentary Evidence Confirms Correct Date : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that clerical mistakes in the date of a demand notice under Section 138 of the NI Act do not render a complaint invalid, provided the actual date is substantiated by independent documentary proof. This protects complainants from procedural defeat due to innocent drafting errors, reinforcing that substance must prevail over form in commercial dispute litigation.
