Non-Impleadment Of Firm In Cheque Bounce Case Is Curable Defect: Delhi High Court

Case title: Himanshu v. TCNS Clothing Co. Ltd

Citation: 2025 LiveLaw (Del) 1052

The Delhi High Court has held that non-impleadment of a firm in cheque bounce case instituted against its partner under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act is a curable defect.

Thus allowing a complainant/ payee to amend the pleadings subject to ₹35,000/- cost, Justice Amit Mahajan observed,

“This Court is of the view that the non-impleadment of the firm is a curable defect...the stage of effective trial has not commenced yet. The accused has not yet faced the process of recording of plea, evidence, or cross-examination. In such circumstances, it cannot be said that permitting an amendment to implead the partnership firm would cause prejudice to the petitioner. On the contrary, refusal to allow such an amendment would result in stifling of proceedings on a mere technicality, thereby defeating the object of Section 138 of the NI Act.”
