Order
Summary of Case 7/2026 The court dismissed Hemaben Jashubhai Bhatt's complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act against Lakhabhai Bambha because the cheque (dated 05/10/2025) was presented for encashment after its validity period expired. The cheque became stale on 05/01/2026, but was presented on 16/01/2026, and the court held that Section 138 requires presentation within the validity period—stale cheques do not attract penal provisions.
