Does a wrong address invalidate a cheque-bounce notice? The answer depends on whether the statutory demand notice was properly addressed and dispatched, postal evidence and principles governing presumed service. Mere denial of actual receipt may not decide the issue.

Prepare a timeline: presentation, dishonour intimation, dispatch of demand notice, relevant service date, 15-day payment opportunity and filing of complaint. Check sections 138 and 142 of the Negotiable Instruments Act and governing case law.

Preserve envelopes, tracking records, address proofs, agreements and correspondence about any address change. Evaluate service arguments separately from the alleged debt and statutory presumptions.

Documents: cheque copy, return memo, notice, proof of posting, tracking report, address documents and complaint.
