Analysis and Conclusion:
The core issue in cases under Section 138 regarding Notice under 138 Given on Incorrect Address is the proper and timely service of legal notice. Notices sent to wrong or unverified addresses do not fulfill statutory requirements, potentially invalidating the proceedings. Courts consistently stress the necessity of serving notices at the correct address, with proper evidence, within the stipulated time frame, to uphold the validity of the case.
