S.J. Choudhary, AIR 1996 SC 1491 (1496): (1996) 2 SCC 428. (Evidence Act, 1872, s. 45)...

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...
