SUMAN SETHI vs AJAY K. CHURIWAL

The Supreme Court held that the notice issued under proviso (b) to Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, was valid as it clearly demanded the cheque amount. The Court distinguished the facts from a prior High Court decision that deemed a similar notice invalid due to an incorrect demand. The High Court's order setting aside the Metropolitan Magistrate's decision was upheld, affirming the validity of the notice and the complaint filed by the respondent.
