Bounced Cheques and Legal Battles Mastering the Negotiable Instruments Act with Landmark Judgments

DESCRIPTION

In a financial world teetering between traditional paper cheques and lightning-fast digital payments, Bounced Cheques and Legal Battles delivers a gripping and authoritative exploration of one of India's most litigated legal domains-the law of cheque dishonour under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. This book is not just a legal manual-it's a strategic toolkit designed for advocates, litigants, business professionals, and students who want to understand, defend, or prosecute cases under Sections 138 and 139 of the NI Act.

Written by Narayanaswamy.R, Advocate, High Court of Karnataka, this book unveils the inner workings of cheque bounce litigation-from the initial presumption of liability to the powerful rebuttal tools available to the accused. It walks readers through essential strategies like cross-examination techniques, identifying misuse of security cheques, exposing inconsistencies in the complainant's version, and challenging the existence of a legally enforceable debt. With every page, readers gain courtroom-tested insights backed by landmark Supreme Court and High Court decisions, making this book both legally robust and practically invaluable.

What makes this book stand out is its timely focus on emerging digital challenges: failed UPI payments, electronic dishonour, and the looming question-should cheque bounce laws apply to digital transactions? The book doesn't just explain the law as it is, but dares to ask how the law should evolve. With its sharp narrative, real-world examples, and forward-looking legal commentary, Bounced Cheques and Legal Battles is an essential companion for anyone navigating the shifting sands of modern financial disputes. Whether you're fighting a case or simply want to stay protected, this book gives you the legal edge you need-on paper, and in court.
