I own a few trucks that ply from rajasthan to karnataka, we have diesel on 90 days credit in kolhapur(Maharastra) from a petrol pump and pay regularly as per terms. Now all of sudden the petrol pump says we have changed the policy and stopped credit so pay full dues about rs.8 lacs immeadiatly otherwise he will hold my trucks at kolhapur and he has good network with police department. Iam not in position to pay at once also he has my blank cheques issued as security. my intentions are good and will pay too but unable at one time and immeadiate. Now iam at rajasthan the vehicles are on loan from bank and hypotiacated, What is best legal way for me to stop him from holding my vehicles or release my vehicles after he holds them and blackmails me for full payment. please advise urgently as he has already threatened me.
with regards

Issue legal notice not to hold the trucks and inform them that you are not in a position to pay entire amount in one stretch, you would pay it in instalments. Inspite of it, if he holds your trucks you can file a complaint before the police.

Dear,
Many times our intention is not malafied but people forced us to take the hard action against them .Because of his influence in local police,he is blackmailing you,but if you do complaint at Rajasthan or where ever you are,I think that his influence will not work . But you must be little bit tricky to get your trucks back .
Lodge a fir at your local police station of stolen of your trucks i.e.u/s380ipc .After a day of filing the fir,inform them that you came to know that your trucks are at kolahpur and at such address .The police will find the trucks from there . By this way fir will convert into 380,411ipc .Along with the complaint of trucks,also include that some of your cheques are also in one of the truck .Said you bankers to stop payment on these cheques .
