Law Of Negotiable Instruments

Worldwide negotiable instruments form the lifeline of all commercial dealings. Hence a proper understanding of the law relating to these instruments is very important, and the Law of Negotiable Instruments is an attempt to fulfil this requirement. In 1988, with the introduction of Chapter XVII to the Negotiable Instruments Act the dishonour of cheque for insufficient funds was made into a criminal offence under section 138 of the Act. This has given the Act a new prominence, which has been duly recognised and emphasized in the present work. This book also traces the origin of the English common law and the corresponding provisions of the English law. Some of the salient features of the book are: • A detailed and exhaustive commentary on the provisions of dishonour of cheques • Provides the latest case law on the subject • Differences between the Indian and English laws have been highlighted • It is comprehensive in its coverage and has been written and formatted in a simple and flowing language so as to make it reader-friendly. This book has been so written so as to conform to the syllabi prescribed by the Bar Council of India. It would thus act as a useful companion not only for law students and other students of commercial laws but also for the bench, bar and litigants.
