1 - 3 of 3 (0.27 seconds)Section 139 in The Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 [Entire Act]
M. Narayanan Nambiar vs State Of Kerala on 5 December, 1962
occurring in clauses (b) and (c) to the proviso to Section 138. Reading the
Section as a whole we have no hesitation to hold that the above expression
refers to the words "payment of any amount of money" occurring in main
Section 138 i.e. the cheque amount. So in notice, under clause (b) to the
proviso, demand has to be made for the cheque amount. Dr. Dhawan, learned
senior counsel has urged that Section 138 being a penal provision has to be
construed strictly. We may refer the decision of this Court in M. Narayanan
Nambiar v. State of Kerala, AIR (1963) SC 1116 = [1963] 2 Supp. SCR 724.
