Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, stating that the alteration of the cheque dates by the respondent did not invalidate the cheques. The Court clarified that there is no provision in the Negotiable Instruments Act preventing a drawer from revalidating a cheque by altering its date, and that consent to such alteration negates any claim of invalidity. The Court reversed the High Court's decision, allowing the complaint to proceed.
