In which of the following cases did the Hon'ble Supreme Court decide the issue of territorial jurisdiction of the court to entertain a complaint under the Negotiable Instruments Act in reference to the Amending Ordinance of 2015?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

In Bridgestone India Pvt. Ltd. v. Inderpal Singh (2016) 2 SCC 75 the Supreme Court applied sections 142(2) and 142A of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, introduced by the Amending Ordinance of 2015, to decide territorial jurisdiction over a section 138 complaint. It held that where the cheque is delivered for collection through an account, the court where the payee's bank branch is situated has jurisdiction, so the earlier Dashrath Rupsingh rule no longer applied.

The other cases did not decide the jurisdiction question under the 2015 Ordinance.
