About the Section 138 Playbook
The Section 138 Playbook is a working guide to cheque dishonour cases, written twice: once for the payee who has to prove the offence, once for the drawer who has to defend it. It collects how Mr. Mehandru thinks about these cases from both sides of the table. The guide is general information for practitioners and parties and is not advice on a specific file. Citations should be checked against the reported judgment before use.
