Jitesh Mehta (proprietor)     27 June 2012

Dishonor of cheque

I had borrowed a sum of Rs.1,00,000/= from my friend about a year back. If had agreed to pay him Rs.10,000/= per month. I had also given him a cheque for Rs.1,00,000/= as security. After paying for five months, there were some disputes between us, and without informing me, he presented the cheque of .Rs.1,00,000/= which was dishonoured. He filed a case U/S 138 claiming that he had lent me Rs. 1,00,000/= . I have taken recipts for the five instalments i had paid to him. Does this case come under sec.138

Cheque amount can be less than the "legally enforceable debt' but it cannot be greater than the "legally enforceable debt".  He has no case.

Still once the process is issued you have to contest the case, take proper care.

Most of the accused loose due to laxity at initial stages.
