There is no way you can escape your liability under Sec.138. You may at the most delay the process.  I do not know how a Special power of attorney was fighting out the case and I presume that all other legal heirs of the payee has given such POA to one of the legal heirs which is valid.

U have been convicted in a cheque bounce case and the case was filed by POA.The trial must have taken at least 2yrs and what were U and UR lawyer doing regarding POA.Today U are saying whether it is valid.Yes valid SPOA,given by others to one person  is valid for all purposes.Irf it was not valid the court would not have admitted the case at all.Have U gone for an appeal?

Yes this was valid defence and should have taken at trial stage. Still now can file revision against conviction pointing similar other mistakes. Court may ask to deposit part amount and if you can pin point major faults in judgment than even without deposit the conviction will be suspended till final decision of the revision.

When was the conviction order given,U must have enlarged on bail,why didn't UR lawyer file an appeal in the sessions court yet?
