Cheque Dishonour and Interim Compensation in Case of S.138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 : High Court Explains the Law

Cheque Dishonour and Interim Compensation in Case of S.138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 : High Court Explains the Law

Evidently, the text of S.143A(1) of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 makes it clear that the power to award interim compensation is discretionary as the Parliament as used the word, "may". The factors which would weigh with the Court in awarding the interim compensation, though not spelled out by the text of the provisions contained in S.143A yet are not difficult to discern.
