when  the Hon’ble Court was pleased to inter alia pass the following order:­
I.A. No. 49221/2020 ­Section 29A of the Arbitration and
Conciliation Act, 1996 
Taken on Board. 
In Suo Moto Writ Petition (C) No. 3/2020, by our order
dated 23.03.2020 and 06.05.2020, we ordered that all periods
of limitation prescribed.
under the Arbiration and Conciliation Act, 1996 shall be
extended w.e.f. 15.03.2020 till further orders. 
Learned   Attorney   General   has   sought   a   minor
modification in the aforesaid orders. 
Section 29A of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996
does not prescribe a period of limitation but fixes a time to do
certain acts, i.e. making an arbitral award within a prescribed
time. We, accordingly, direct that the aforesaid orders shall also
apply   for   extension   of   time   limit   for   passing   arbitral   award
under Section 29A of the said Act. Similarly, Section 23(4) of
the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 provides for a time
period of 6 months for the completion of the statement of claim
and defence. We, accordingly, direct that the aforesaid orders
shall also apply for extension of the time limit prescribed under
Section 23(4) of the said Act. 
The application is disposed of accordingly.

With reference to the prayer, that the period of validity of
a cheque be extended, we find that the said period has not been
prescribed by any Statute but it is a period prescribed by the
Reserve   Bank   of   India   under   Section   35­A   of   the   Banking
Regulation   Act,1949.   We   do   not   consider   it   appropriate   to
interfere   with   the   period   prescribed   by   the   Reserve   Bank   of
India, particularly, since the entire banking system functions on
the basis of the period so prescribed. 
The Reserve Bank of India may in its discretion, alter such
period as it thinks fit. Ordered accordingly.
