Arvind Tiwary vs The State Of Bihar

The Supreme Court addressed multiple criminal appeals concerning the interpretation of Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, which deals with dishonor of cheques. The Court established that the notice under Section 138 must be served within 30 days of the dishonor, and failure to do so results in the dismissal of the complaint. The appeals were dismissed as the appellants failed to comply with the statutory requirements, reinforcing the necessity of adhering to procedural mandates in cheque dishonor cases.
