Susela Padmavathy Amma vs M/S. Bharti Airtel Limited

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision rejecting the quashing of criminal complaints under Section 138 and Section 142 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, against Fibtel Telecom Solutions for dishonored cheques. The Court emphasized that the issuance of cheques and subsequent dishonor constitutes an offence under the Act, and the complainant's legal notice was valid. The Court affirmed that the complaints were maintainable as the necessary procedural requirements were met, thus allowing the prosecution to proceed.
