Limitation can't be circumvented by resorting to S. 319 of CrPC in cheque bouncing cases

SC :: Limitation can't be circumvented by resorting to S. 319 of CrPC in cheque bouncing cases.


The question whether the respondent had sufficient cause for not filing the complaint against DAKSHIN within the period prescribed under THE NEGOTIABLE ACT is not examined by either of the courts below. As rightly pointed out, the application, which is the subject matter of the instant appeal purportedly filed invoking Section 319 CrPC, is only a device by which the respondent seeks to initiate prosecution against DAKSHIN beyond the period of limitation stipulated under the Negotiable Instruments Act.
