Under Section 99, 'noting' of a dishonoured bill is made by whom?

Q: Answer-Under Section 99, 'noting' of a dishonoured bill is made by whom?

Section 99 of the Negotiable Instruments Act provides that when a promissory note or bill of exchange has been dishonoured by non-acceptance or non-payment, the holder may cause such dishonour to be noted by a notary public upon the instrument, or upon a paper attached thereto. Noting records the fact of dishonour, the date, and the reason. It serves as authentic evidence of dishonour and is a preliminary step to drawing up a formal protest under Section 100.
