The firm specialises in handling cheque bounce cases under the Negotiable Instruments Act, providing expert legal representation in disputes involving dishonoured cheques. Partners regularly address NI Act practice and procedure in professional forums, including study circles of Adhivakta Parishad and presentations to Company Secretaries.
NI Act work is treated as both a criminal and a commercial instrument. Prosecution or defence is planned with attention to statutory timelines, jurisdiction after the 2015 amendments and subsequent Supreme Court clarification, evidence of debt, and the parallel civil recovery path where appropriate.
The chambers’ writing and teaching on the Act — including critical commentary on Supreme Court judgments — feeds a practice that is alert to procedure as well as to the underlying commercial relationship.
How we approach the work
We ask whether the cheque is the whole story or only the symptom — and then design a path that protects the debt, the timeline and the client’s position before the magistrate and, if needed, on appeal.
What the practice handles
- Complaints under Section 138 NI Act
- Defence of NI Act prosecutions
- Related recovery strategy alongside NI Act remedies
- Procedural and appellate stages
