Can a company facing insolvency also be prosecuted for cheque bounce?

The Supreme Court settled the conflict in P. Mohanraj v. Shah Brothers Ispat Pvt. Ltd. by holding that Section 14 of the IBC stays proceedings under Sections 138/141 of the Negotiable Instruments Act against the corporate debtor during the moratorium.

The reasoning was simple yet significant. Although cheque bounce proceedings carry criminal consequences, their primary purpose is recovery of a legally enforceable debt. Because of this hybrid or "quasi-criminal" nature, allowing them to continue would defeat the very purpose of the IBC, which is to preserve the company's assets and maximise the chances of successful resolution.

The protection, however, is not absolute. Directors and other responsible officers do not receive the benefit of the moratorium and may still face prosecution.

A landmark judgment that clarified the intersection of the NI Act and the IBC while strengthening the insolvency framework.

In Rajat Kumar v. S D Adarsh Jain Kanya Maha Vidyalaya Sadhaura, the Supreme Court held that a court cannot compel a litigant to accept monetary compensation when the suit seeks only an injunction, unless such relief is authorised by law or accepted by the party. It also clarified that an Executing Court cannot undertake valuation or award compensation beyond the terms of the decree under Order XXI CPC.

Reiterating the mandatory requirement of Section 100 CPC, the Court set aside the High Court's judgment for failing to properly frame and decide a substantial question of law, and remanded the matter for fresh consideration.

⚖️ Supreme Court Upholds Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Electoral Rolls 🗳️

In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court in Association for Democratic Reforms v. Election Commission of India (2026) upheld the Election Commission’s authority to conduct a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls to identify eligible voters and remove ineligible entries.

The Bench comprising Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi held that the exercise was aimed at ensuring free and fair elections and was neither manifestly arbitrary nor disproportionate, despite differing from routine voter-list revision processes.

The judgment reinforces the constitutional mandate of maintaining accurate electoral rolls while safeguarding the integrity of the democratic process.

For decades, unpaid household labour has been treated as invisible. Yet homemakers cook, clean, care for children, manage homes, and provide countless hours of support that keep families functioning.

In a landmark judgment, the Supreme Court has recognised a new head of compensation called “Loss of Domestic Care” and held that, where no income is proved, a homemaker’s contribution should be valued at ₹30,000 per month, with periodic revisions.

What began as a compensation claim arising from a 2001 road accident ultimately led to a historic ruling, enhancing compensation from ₹8.43 lakh to ₹62.78 lakh.

This judgment is about more than compensation. It is about dignity, recognition, and acknowledging that unpaid work is still work.
