Discussion
In which of the following cases, did the Hon'ble Supreme Court decide the issue of territorial jurisdiction of the court to entertain a complaint under the Negotiable Instruments Act in reference to the Amending Ordinance of 2015?
Answer: A
The case is (2016) 2 SCC 75, Bridgestone India Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Inderpal Singh.
After the Negotiable Instruments (Amendment) Ordinance of 2015 (later the Amendment Act of 2015) inserted Section 142(2), a complaint under Section 138 lies where the cheque is delivered for collection, at the branch of the payee's bank. In Bridgestone India the Supreme Court applied the amended provision and held that the court at the place of that branch has jurisdiction, so the effect of the earlier Dashrath Rupsingh Rathod ruling no longer governs.
The other cases did not decide this question of territorial jurisdiction under the Ordinance, so 'None of the above' is also wrong.
