Misuse of Written cheque

Manohar (Querist) 28 May 2016 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sirs,

Iam Manohar babu writing to request your kind advise on the below issue.

Last year in December I have my sister marriage, to do the marriage I tried to arrange money by spelling my ancestral property, as agreed by other Family members. We sold our property and got registered on 14/December. My sister marriage happened on 6&7th December. In November I took some advance money from the buyer on manual agreement for marriage. That time buyer asked to give two cheques, when suppling property papers, I lost one half written cheque. Then I informed bank to stop that cheque. In that cheque amount mentioned and singed. Date and name place was blank. Cheque was stopped on 20/11/2015.

Now I received a notice from lawyer saying that I have not paid his fees , and mentioning my cheque in the notice. He deposited cheque and it is returned unpaid. He wrote his name and mentioned date as 27/02/2016.

Surprisingly, he was the same lawyer, who hired buy our purchaser. Now he sent notice and demanding for money.

We are no where connected with this Lawyer buyer already paid his fees now he is having my cheque and blackmailing me.

He says he introduced the purchaser for that I gave this cheque as a fees. Actually broker is different person and broker name mentioned in the deed also, and I paid his fees completely.

I don't know what to do please help.

Regards
Manohar

Try to have amicable settlement. Take help of purchaser.

If not possible, no other alternate but to defend on merits.
