Section 138 negotiable instrument act is a special act and complaint under s.138 can be filed

the arbitration clause is no bar to filing a complaint under NI Act. the arbitration clause can be invoked in civil matters of recovery but the criminal complaint can be settled through arbitration as well.

I differ with the above opinions because the section 138 NI act can only be invoked in case of dishonouring of cheque and not the contract .

Arbitration clause is inconsequential for a prosecution.

yes
