This Edition of this Book is thoroughly revised by us keeping in view several suggestions received from different quarters and corners.
The decisions upto date had been placed in appropriate places. In the Foreword of Justice T.N.C. Rangarajan, the learned Judge observed. "The law relating to the Negotiable Instruments is central to the commercial laws. There is no transaction in the commercial world which does not involve the transfer of some negotiable instruments or a cheque, apart from getting the documentation in proper order. In order to secure the rights of the parties, there is also a great need to avoid legal pitfalls and to protect oneself from being cheated. The nature of the transaction often depends upon the documentation and the legal implications. They have unintended consequences such as 'Tax Impact'. In addition to these routine considerations the liberalisation and the globalisation is bound to bring on the scene, the need for foreign counterparts to understand the Indian law on the subject."
