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.

It has long been contended that the Indian Constitution of 1950, a document in English created by elite consensus, has had little influence on India’s greater population. Drawing upon the previously unexplored records of the Supreme Court of India, A People’s Constitution upends this narrative and shows how the Constitution actually transformed the daily lives of citizens in profound and lasting ways. This remarkable legal process was led by individuals on the margins of society, and Rohit De looks at how drinkers, smugglers, petty vendors, butchers, and prostitutes—all despised minorities—shaped the constitutional culture. The Constitution came alive in the popular imagination so much that ordinary people attributed meaning to its existence, took recourse to it, and argued with it. Focusing on the use of constitutional remedies by citizens against new state regulations seeking to reshape the society and economy, De illustrates how laws and policies were frequently undone or renegotiated from below using the state’s own procedures. De examines four important cases that set legal precedents: a Parsi journalist’s contestation of new alcohol prohibition laws, Marwari petty traders’ challenge to the system of commodity control, Muslim butchers’ petition against cow protection laws, and sex workers’ battle to protect their right to practice prostitution. Exploring how the Indian Constitution of 1950 enfranchised the largest population in the world, A People’s Constitution considers the ways that ordinary citizens produced, through litigation, alternative ethical models of citizenship.
