Home Dictionary Name: giveGiving of notice
Giving of notice, 'Giving' of anything as ordinarily understood in the English language is not complete unless it has reached the hands of the person to whom it has to be given. In the eye of law however 'giving' is complete in many matters where it has been offered to a person but not accepted by him. Tendering of a notice is in law therefore giving of a notice even though the person to whom it is tendered refuses to accept it. We can find however no authority or principle for the proposition that as soon as the person with a legal duty to give the notice despatches the notice to the address of the person to whom it has to be given, the giving is complete, K. Narasimhiah v. H.C. Singvi Gowda, AIR 1966 SC 330 (332): (1964) 7 SCR 618. [Mysore Town Municipalities Act, 1951 (22 of 1951), s. 27(3)]...

Giving notice in writing
Giving notice in writing, Chapter XVII of the Act, containing ss. 138 to 142, was inserted in the Act as per Banking Public Financial Institution and Negotiable Instruments Laws (Amendment) Act, 1968. When the legislature contemplated that notice in writing should be given to the drawer of the cheque, the legislature must be presumed to have been aware of the modern devices and equipment already in vogue and also in store for future. If the Court were to interpret the words 'giving notice in writing' in the s. as restricted to the customary mode of sending notice through postal service or even by personal delivery, the interpretative process would fail to cope up with the change of time. If the notice envisaged in clause (b) of the proviso to s. 138 was transmitted by Fax it would be compliance with the legal requirement, SIL Import v. Exim Aides Silk Exporters, (1991) 4 SCC 567: AIR 1999 SC 1609 (1612, 1613). [Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881, s. 138, proviso (b)]Giving Notice in writi...

Also spelled Magna charta, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 963.This Great Charter is based substantially upon the Saxon Common Law, which flourished in this kingdom until the Normaninvasion consolidated the system of feudality, still the great characteristic of the principles of real property.
