What is this about?
This criminal appeal quashes an order acquitting the accused under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The High Court held that prior reliance on Raj v. Rajan, which allowed interest claims in Section 138 notices, was no longer valid after Kunjan Panicker v. Christudas. The acquittal is set aside, and the matter is remanded to the lower court for fresh disposal.
What did the court decide?
The order of the court below is set aside and the matter is remitted back to the court below for fresh consideration and for disposal on merits.
