Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 22 January 2012 This query is : Resolved 
Hi Experts,

I need help from you.

1) if we lend money to any one and take their signature on promisory note is that enough to file case against them if they dont repay us back.i dont have any cheques from the other party. i have just promisory note signed.

is promisory note breach case will be given equal importance like cheque bounce case. does it require for the opposite party to show/submit local sureity ?

please help me with complete information on this. please.

how is money adavnced? is it by cheque ?

if borrower has signed on promissory note and acknowledged his liabilty to make payment on certian date or on demand in the event of default in repaying loan lender can file summary suit for recovery of loan amount .

if borrower denies his signatire on document court may grant him unconditional leave to defend in the summary suit as triable issues areise .

It must be in writing :
A promissory note must always take the form of a written document


The promise to pay must be express :
The essential of a promissory note is and express promise to pay. A mere acknowledgment of debt without express promise to pay is not a promissory note


The promise to pay must be unconditional :
A promissory note must contain an unconditional promise to pay

It must be signed by the maker :
The signature of the maker on the face of the note is the most essential feature. In the absence of the signature of the maker, an instrument cannot be called a promissory note
Promise must be to pay a certain sum :
The amount promised to be paid by the promissory note must be certain and definite.

Dear will it be treated on par with cheque bounce case or it has low priority .

prmissory note , bills of exchanges , cheques are negotibale instruments and summary suit is maintanable on account of failure to pay . all have equal priority

Cheque case means a criminal case but in promissory note, the case is civil for recovery whereon you shall also have to pay court fee as per relevant rates of State upon the amount mentioned in the Promissory note and calculated interest thereon.

Witnesses mentioned in the promissory note are important to depose their evidence in the court.

If the defendant denies his signature then you shall have to get those signatures verified from signature expert.

You can file a suit for recovery against the other party on the basis of the promissory note. You cannot initiate the criminal action as provided under Sec138 of negootiable instruments Act.

NO case under section 138 NI Act would lie on default of payment promised by a promissory note.

Only summary civil suit could be filed.
On denial of document,the suit would be tried as any suit and plaintiff shall have to proof the signature of debtor defendant by adducing oral evidence of witnesses thereon and by expert opinion.
Advocate. Arunagiri (Expert) 23 January 2012
I agree with Mr.Singh.
