Condonation of Delay under Section 138
Yes, the delay in filing a complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 can be condoned by the court.
Originally, the Act did not provide for condonation. However, by the Negotiable Instruments (Amendment and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2002, a proviso was added toSection 142(1)(b).
Under this proviso, the Magistrate may take cognizance of a complaint after the prescribed period of one month, if the complainant satisfies the Court that they had "sufficient cause" for not making the complaint within the stipulated period.
In the landmark case of MSR Leathers v. S. Palaniappan (2013), the Supreme Court affirmed that the provisions of Section 142 are designed to facilitate justice and condonation should be considered liberally if genuine grounds are established.
