Final Orders / Judgements
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. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
