Dear sir,
last year myself and my friend were in the same business of trading of bambbos in maharashtra. we took forest lease of bamboos from govt of maharashtra in our individual names. the lease is for one year which was ended in july 2009. we open our depot in same village. the village was about 200 km from chandrapur.as our business was in naxalite area and the nearest bank was about 200 km from our depot.as I was very far from my bank and my customers keep on depositing cheques in my state bank of india account
As you are also aware that state bank of india does not give more then 25000 cash to third person on self cheque.I gave three cheques without filling the amount to my friend to find out the balance and withdraw the money from my account. the last cheque i gave in may 2009. out of these cheques he had fradulently kept one of the signed cheque with him. Now he put an amount of Rs 55.00 lacs and put the date 11-04-2010 in his own writing and got the cheque bounced on 26-05-2010. Now he is blackmailing me. Please advice how i should proceed with this case.

Mr. sunil

but to draw money why given signed undated cheques? a cheque is valid for 6 months.

bouncing of cheque without liability is no offence.

do not succumb to pressure.

file poilce complaint for blackmailing, attempt to steal money etc.

all the best
regards

PS:

also, state bank has to honour amount of cheque in excess of 25 thousands too. this point not imp for your query
