143A

This document is an application filed in court requesting interim compensation in a cheque bouncing case. There was a recent amendment to the Negotiable Instruments Act allowing courts to order the drawer of a bounced cheque to pay 20% of the cheque amount as interim compensation to the complainant. The applicant is seeking such interim compensation of 20% of the Rs. 10,00,000 cheque amount in this long-pending case that has been before the court for over two years. The applicant argues that this interim relief is now available under the amended law and should be granted in the interest of justice.
