Learned counsel for the applicant has pointed out that the cause of action under clause (c) of the proviso to section 138 would accrue on expiry of 15 days from the date of service of notice on the drawer and the limitation thus would start to run on expiry of 15 days. If it is so calculated the filing of the complaint on 2.7.03 cannot be said to be barred by limitation. Prima facie case is made out for grant of special leave to file an appeal. Hence application is allowed and disposed of. R & P be called for. 24.3.08
