"The law of the cheques is a novel book incorporating all the provisions of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, dealing with cheques.

Cheque is a carrier without luggage. It carries money of any quantity on a single small piece of paper. It has made money transactions very easy, convenient and economical as well as safe and secured vis-a-vis the legal tender. The negotiable instruments particularly cheque has oiled the wheels of commerce and facilitated quick and prompt deals and transactions. With expanding commerce the growing demands for money could not be met by mere supply of legal tender and cheques took the function of money. It has facilitated trade and commerce tremendously.

Recently, a new chapter XVII to the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 has been a significant addition dealing with penalties in case of dishonour of cheques due to insufficiency of funds in the account of the drawer of the cheque. The purpose of addition was mainly for : to encourage the use of cheques and to enhance the credibility of the cheques.

This has given a new paradigm to the use of cheques in the present economic scenario. After the introduction of this chapter cases on dishonour of cheques have been flooded. Now we have plethora of cases of the Supreme Court and various High Courts on this point developing and establishing new law. Seeing the pressure of the courts the Law Commission of India has advised to set up a separate court for this purpose.

This shows the importance of the law of the cheques. The law on cheques is spread over in different provisions of the negotiable instruments. So, there was need of a book mainly dealing with cheques. The author has made a sincere effort to write this book.

Against this background the book presents a critical appraisal of entire law on the cheques at one place in a book form." (jacket)

  • A thousand thanks for promptly sending the Pali English Dictionary which I had needed urgently. The securely packed parcel arrived safely here in the South of France all the way from distant India. I am happy that this large volume is still in mint condition. 

    I know of no other Indian publisher whose books can equal the superb quality of Vedams books. Similarly, no other Indian distributor of books can excel Vedams as regards the quickness of service, the perfect packing of books and their safe delivery at overseas destinations.
