NIA S. 138, 141 – Typographical mistakes should have been rectified by the trial Court, as trial Court has inherent power to rectify such typographical mistakes to do justice between the parties – XYZ through its proprietor was described as an accused and initially the name of the proprietor viz. AK was not mentioned in the complaint – XYZ is the sole proprietary concern and AK is the only proprietor thereof – Whether the accused was described as XYZ through its proprietor AK or whether he is described AK proprietor of XYZ will make no difference – It would not cause any prejudice whatsoever to the petitioner/accused –  Revisional Court was fully justified in permitting the complainant to insert the name of AK as the proprietor thereof.

NIA S. 138 – A notice under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act must specifically demand the cheque amount; a vague or omnibus demand invalidates the complaint. The provision being penal requires strict compliance, including service of a valid notice. While Section 138 does not mandate giving 15 days’ notice, the drawer must pay within 15 days of receiving it. The High Court rightly quashed proceedings under Section 482 CrPC due to failure to meet statutory notice requirements, making the complaint legally unsustainable. 2007 PLRonline 0106 (SC)

CPC O. 23 R. 3A – Bar under Order XXIII Rule 3A applies only to parties who were part of the compromise, leaving non-parties free to sue if their independent rights are affected. A compromise binds only those who participated, and does not extend to strangers—particularly where a beneficiary holds a probated Will conferring title in rem. Accordingly, separate suits by non-parties challenging the compromise or asserting probate-based rights are maintainable. [2025 PLRonline 0112 =  ID 401854]

NIA S. 138 – Compounding – Though the complainant has been duly compensated by the accused yet the complainant does not agree for the compounding of the offence, the courts cannot compel the complainant to give ‘consent’ for compounding of the matter – On facts – Quashed.
