..........A fortnight ago, the Supreme Court has made it a little more difficult. Until now, the aggrieved person could file a case at his place of residence or business. A three-member bench of the Supreme Court has now ruled in K Bhaskaran versus Shankaran Vaidhyan Balan that in cheque bouncing incidents, cases can only be filed in those courts within whose jurisdiction the drawee bank is situated. Thus, if ABC Company in Tuticorin receives a cheque drawn on a bank in Dibrugarh, Assam, ABC Company would have to file the case in Dibrugarh – not easy for the company in Tuticorin. This will naturally not only result in delays but huge expense as ABC would have to engage lawyers in Assam and even have someone travel to Dibrugarh. To add to the woes of those seeking redress, the judgement would apply retrospectively. Therefore hundreds of thousands of cases would be transferred to different states...........
