TITLE: A Study on Dishonour of Negotiable Instrument with Special Emphasis on laws of Dishonour of Cheque in India
Introduction
A cheque is a type of bill of exchange and is a negotiable instrument. It is used for making payments without any need to carry cash. A Dishonored Cheque is a Cheque that is not credited by the Bank for numerous reasons including: The signature does not match; the account on which the cheque is drawn has insufficient funds, the date is invalid – i.e. the presentation of the cheque 6 months from the date on the cheque. Advent of cheques in the market have given a new dimension to the commercial and corporate world, its time when people have preferred to carry and execute a small piece of paper called Cheque than carrying the currency worth the value of cheque. Dealings in cheques are vital and important not only for banking purposes but also for the commerce and industry and the economy of the country. But pursuant to the rise in dealings with cheques also rises the practice of giving cheques without any intention of honouring them.

    Any Kind Checks and HDC Status

    Several factors come into play when considering the fairness of the court’s ruling in this case. We have to look at whether Any Kind Checks Cashed acted reasonably in accepting a negotiable item from the payee. We also have to consider why the payee used the services of a check-cashing establishment in the course of conducting his business. Also, it is important to review the provisions that should be met when an entity tries to assert a protection as a holder in due course. Was Any Kind Checks an HDC in this case? This depends on what responsibility they had in accepting the negotiable instrument from Mr. Guarino. Did they exercise due care in accepting the item? These questions and others are important factors in determining Any Kinds’ status as an HDC in this case.…

    The second requirement for negotiable instruments is that the maker or drawer signs them. Third, the instrument must also contain an unconditional promise or order to pay. Fourth, it must also contain a promise or order to pay a fixed amount of money. This means that the value must be fixed and that the debt will be paid with a legal form of money. Fifth, the negotiable instrument cannot require any other undertaking in addition to the payment of money. For example it cannot require the payment of money and the completion of some type of other service. Finally the negotiable instrument must be payable on demand or at a definite time.…

    Liquidated Damages vs. Penalty: Are Causation and Loss Required?

    Liquidated Damages vs. Penalty: Are Causation and Loss Required?

    In a contract, the parties may name a sum to be payable in the event of breach. If such sum is a genuine pre estimate of loss it is termed liquidated damages, and if it bears no reflection on the loss suffered, it is termed a penalty. Courts are reluctant to enforce penalty clauses and in such cases the sum stipulated is normally reduced. It has been perceptively observed by Fansworth that in comparison to the bargaining power which parties enjoy in negotiating their substantive contractual rights and duties, their power to bargain over their remedial rights is surprisingly limited. They are not at liberty to name an extravagant sum having no relation to the breach, for fear of it being construed as a penalty. It is interesting to contrast this with the law relating to consideration. A man may sell his car for a handful of marbles, and the law cares not, as long as he is satisfied. Yet the law would give no peace to a man who claims ten thousand rupees for failure to deliver a handful of marbles, branding such a clause penal.…

    White Paper on Black Money

    BLACK MONEY IS A CURSE TO OUR NATION’S DEVELOPMENT THE HON’BLE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA IN CASE OF R.K. Garg And Ors. vs Union Of Page | 1 India (1981) 4 SCC 675 Bench: Y Chandrachud, A Gupta, A Sen, P Bhagwati, S M Ali. FACTS OF THE CASE:- These writ petitions raise a common question of law relating to the constitutional validity of the Special Bearer Bonds (Immunities and Exemptions) Ordinance, 1981 and the Special Bearer Bonds (Immunities and Exemptions) Act 1981. The principal ground on which the constitutional validity of the Ordinance and the Act is challenged is that they are violative of the equality clause contained in Article 14 of the Constitution. …………………… The Preamble of the Act which "affords useful light as to what the statute intends to reach" or in other words "affords a clue the scope of the statute" makes it clear that the Act is intended to canalise for productive purposes black money which has become a serious threat to the national economy. COURT OBSERVATIONS:IMPACT OF BLACK MONEY:- It is an undisputed fact that there is considerable amount of black money in circulation which is unaccounted or concealed and therefore outside the disclosed trading channels. It is largely the product of black market transactions and evasion of tax. Indeed, as pointed out by the Direct Taxes Enquiry Committee headed by Mr. Wanchoo, retired Chief Justice of India "tax evasion and black money are closely and inextricably interlinked." The abundance of black money has in fact given rise to a parallel economy operating simultaneously and competing with the official economy. This parallel economy has over the years grown in size and dimension and even on a conservative estimate, the amount of black money in circulation runs into some thousand crores. The menace of black money has now reached such staggering proportions that it is causing havoc to the economy of the country and poses a serious challenge to the fulfilment of our objectives of distributive justice and…

    Negotiable Instruments Act

    The history of the present Act is a long one. The Act was originally drafted in 1866 by the 3rd India Law Commission and introduced in December, 1867 in the Council and it was referred to a Select Committee. Objections were raised by the mercantile community to the numerous deviations from the English Law which it contained. The Bill had to be redrafted in 1877. After the lapse of a sufficient period for criticism by the Local Governments, the High Courts and the chambers of commerce, the Bill was revised by a Select Committee. In spite of this Bill could not reach the final stage. In 1880 by the Order of the Secretary of State, the Bill had to be referred to a new Law Commission. On the recommendation of the new Law Commission the Bill was re-drafted and again it was sent to a Select Committee which adopted most of the additions recommended by the new Law Commission. The draft thus prepared for the fourth time was introduced in the Council and was passed into law in 1881 being the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (Act No.26 of 1881)[1]…
