The Orissa HC upheld cancellation of a 2001 sale deed where the plot number was fraudulently altered post-registration, ruling Article 59 limitation runs from fraud discovery in 2020 - not execution - safeguarding owners against time-barred challenges to forged documents.

The Himachal Pradesh High Court upheld the acquittal under Section 138 of the NI Act, holding that a notice must specify the exact cheque amount to be valid. It further clarified that any alteration in the cheque initialled by the accused does not void the instrument, refining the evidentiary requirements for dishonoured cheque cases.
