Contract for work or service contract for sale of goods
Contract for work or service contract for sale of goods, the primary difference between a 'contract for work or service' and a 'contract for sale of goods' is that in the former there is in the person performing work or rendering service no property in the thing produced as a whole notwithstanding that a part or even the whole of the materials used by him may have been his property.

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.
