An individual complaint for numerous dishonored cheques may be filed as long as the single legal notice issued combines them all; and the actual wrong committed arose from a single transaction if both conditions are fulfilled- so ruled Jammu and Kashmir's High Court. The cause of action in each case is the same because a common legal notice was issued and that is what gives rise to it. Thus according to the honble court, the cause of action comes about when after 15 days the accused fails to reply or make payment, not on the day of dishonour or when the cheque was put forward.
