Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881

The law on criminalisation of cheque bounce cases is largely discussed by constitutional courts day in and out, but still there are several grey areas where ambiguity and unequivocalness is persisting. The Negotiable Instrument Act 1881 is a complete code but chapter XVII that speaks about offences of cheque bounce cases and the penalties thereof. There are various concepts like rule of presumption, summary trial, evidences on affidavit, offences by directors and incorporations, compounding of offences under this Act, condonation of delay in filing of complaints among others wherein different school of jurisprudence developed and many of them differed with one another. Besides this, a voice is also raised by many legal luminaries that the offences of cheque bounce cases under section 138 of NI Act may be decriminalised. This book has tried to highlight all these inter-connected issues with the help of recent case laws decided by Supreme Court of India and other High Courts across the nation.

Disputed Memory

The world wars, genocides and extremist ideologies of the 20th century are remembered very differently across Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe, resulting sometimes in fierce memory disputes. This book investigates the complexity and contention of the layers of memory of the troubled 20th century in the region. Written by an international group of scholars from a diversity of disciplines, the chapters approach memory disputes in methodologically innovative ways, studying representations and negotiations of disputed pasts in different media, including monuments, museum exhibitions, individual and political discourse and electronic social media. Analyzing memory disputes in various local, national and transnational contexts, the chapters demonstrate the political power and social impact of painful and disputed memories. The book brings new insights into current memory disputes in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe. It contributes to the understanding of processes of memory transmission and negotiation across borders and cultures in Europe, emphasizing the interconnectedness of memory with emotions, mediation and politics.
