Anil Kumar Goel vs Kishan Chand Kaura

The Supreme Court addressed the dismissal of a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing a complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. The Court held that the amendment to Section 142(b) of the Act, which allows for extension of limitation, did not apply to this case as the events occurred prior to the amendment. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that the complaint was valid despite the appellant's claims regarding the timing of the events and the applicability of the amendment.
