The  larger bench  overruled  Sadanandan  Bhadran  (supra) holding that there was no reason why a fresh  cause  of  action  within  the meaning of Section 142 (b) read with section 138 should  not  be  deemed  to have arisen to the complainant every  time  the  cheque  was  presented  but dishonoured and the drawer of cheque failed to pay  the  amount  within  the stipulated period in terms of proviso to 138.
