BISWAJIT SINHA vs FAIYEZ RUB ANSARI . — Crl.A. No. 65/2010

Summary of Crl.A. No. 000065/2010 (Biswajit Sinha v. Faiyez Rub Ansari) On 08/01/2010, the Supreme Court allowed Biswajit Sinha's appeal against the Calcutta High Court's order that had quashed a cheque bounce complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The High Court had dismissed the case as barred by limitation, but the Supreme Court found that while initial cognizance (29 July 2003) was time-barred, a subsequent cognizance with a pending delay condonation application (3 September 2003) should have been considered. The Court set aside the High Court's complete dismissal and remanded the matter to the 1st Judicial Magistrate, Sealdah, for fresh cognizance after considering the appellant's delay condonation application under Section 142(b) NIA 1881.
