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.

Accordingly, separate suits by non-parties challenging the compromise or asserting probate-based rights are maintainable. [2025 PLRonline 0112 = ID 401854]
