Section 138 NI Act | Demand Notice Must Specify Exact Cheque Details to Trigger Criminal Liability : Gauhati HC
Gauhati High Court rules that a demand notice under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act must explicitly mention the cheque number and correct date to validly trigger criminal liability. The court dismissed the appeal, holding that even an admission of signing the cheque does not cure defects in the notice, reinforcing strict compliance requirements for cheque dishonour cases.
