Dhanamjai Nidhi Ltd vs Bindhu V G — 2249/2025

Summary: The petition for condonation of delay in filing a cheque dishonor complaint (under Section 138 read with 142 of the Negotiable Instruments Act) was allowed. The court accepted the complainant's explanation that the delay resulted from bona fide administrative reasons—specifically, misplacement of cheques during office furniture rearrangement—and found the delay was neither deliberate nor intentional. The accused did not file any objection despite being served notice, and the court determined that refusing condonation would cause irreparable prejudice to the complainant while no prejudice was shown to the accused.
