The non-obstante clause in Section 142A(1) of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 expressly overrides:

Section 142A(1) of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 opens with a non-obstante clause covering anything contained in the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 or any judgment, decree, order or directions of any court, so it overrides both, not merely one of them, and has nothing to do with bank rules.

Current law: the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure from 1 July 2024, and the reference to the Code is now read as a reference to the BNSS (section 8, General Clauses Act, 1897).
