When the cause of delay ceases to operate, the notice must be given with reasonable diligence.

(a) where, after the exercise of reasonable diligence, notice, as required by this Ordinance, cannot be given to or does not reach the drawer or indorser sought to be charged;
(b) by waiver, express or implied. Notice of dishonour may be waived before the time of giving notice has arrived or after the omission to give due notice;
(c) as regards the drawer, in the following cases, namely— (i) where drawer and drawee are the same person;
(ii) where the drawee is a fictitious person or a person not having capacity to contract;
(iii) where the drawer is the person to whom the bill is presented for payment;
(iv) where the drawee or acceptor is, as between himself and the drawer, under no obligation to accept or pay the bill;
(v) where the drawer has countermanded payment;
(d) as regards the indorser, in the following cases, namely--- (i) where the drawee is a fictitious person or a person not having capacity to contract, and the indorser was aware of the fact at the time he indorsed the bill;
(ii) where the indorser is the person to whom the bill is presented for payment;
(iii) where the bill was accepted or made for his accommodation.
51. (1) Where an inland bill has been dishonoured, it may, if the holder thinks fit, be noted for non-acceptance or non-payment, as the case may be; but it shall not be necessary to note or protest any such bill in order to preserve the recourse against the drawer or indorser.
