Hi
My wife who is a Govt employee lended money to a muslim women in their locality, she has given cheques against it,executed bond on stamp paper for repayment schedule and a Plot paper Of(her brothers) as surety.
Her husband has executed the bond, and gave signed cheques for their liability stating that they would return the money in two months. when agreed time of 2 month is over they are not giving the money and going on postponing the date but still now even after 6 month we have not received even a single pie from them.
I request you to please suggest me how to take a legal action against them. is this a civil case or criminal case. How do i proceed can i lodge a civil suite/attachment against them or should i reach police for intentionally inducing me

if you have bounced cheques, you can go in for cheque bounce case. You can also go for recovery case as you have a bond, which is civil in nature and ask for attachment of the said property, in case they fail to pay.
Two cases, either cheque bounce if cheques are bounced or recovery case on the basis of the bond.

Cheque bounce cases are not for recovery of money it is for punishing a person for committing an offence under the Negotiable Instruments Act. For recovery of the money you can file a suit for recovery of money in the Civil Court along with ABJ application.
