1999 (9) TMI 941 - SUPREME COURT

Whether the cause of action has arisen at all as the notice sent by the complainant to the accused was returned as 'unclaimed.'? - Held that:- Appeal dismissed. No doubt Section 138 of the Act does not require that the notice should be given only by 'post' therefore, uphold the conviction of the offence under Section 138 of the Act, but we set aside the sentence awarded by the High Court for enabling the trial court to pass orders on the question of sentence and the compensation, if any payable.
