11. There is no merit in the contention concerning the minimum averment in the complaint as regards Petitioner No.2 who is the Managing Director of Petitioner No.1 The decisions in S.M.S Pharmaceuticals v.

Syed Mahommed Yaqub vs Imperial Bank Of India on 26 June, 1940

10. With the law having been so unambiguously stated in several decisions of the Supreme Court, this Court is unable to accept the submission that a cheque which is dishonoured for the reason of a stop payment instruction is not a cheque within the meaning of Section 138 NI Act or that the offence thereunder is not attracted in such instance. The decision of the Calcutta High Court in Syed Mahommed Yaqub v. Imperial Bank of India and the earlier decisions in Cohen v. Hale, William Joseph Reade v. The Royal Bank, Wianholt v. Spitta are therefore to no avail in this regard. The submission that any or all of the above judgments of the Supreme Court are per incuriam or sub silentio does not impress this court. They in fact provide a complete answer to the contentions of the learned counsel for the petitioner on this issue.
