Kalidas Bhagwan Pande v. Pandit Santukrao Pande
Case brief
What is this about?
This court allowed a criminal writ petition challenging an order directing the petitioner to deposit 20% of the cheque amount. Relying on Apex Court precedents, the single-judge bench held that Section 143A did not apply as the cause of action arose before the statutory amendment, thus quashing the impugned order.
What did the court decide?
The impugned order dated 28-03-2022 directing the petitioner to deposit 20% of the cheque amount was quashed and set aside.
