Hi there
I have signed a contract on a piece of paper wherein my personal details like passport no etc are mentioned along with the other person's details. The contract says that I owe this person over half a million dirhams in UAE which I borrowed. But the borrowed amount in half (250K)in cheque & half in cash. There is no mention of this in the contract and no reciept for the cash was given.
1. If this person goes to the court, will I be liable for the entire amount as mentioned & signed by me or will he have to prove that cash was given and that my liability stands only for 250K that was given in cheque.
2. Is this a civil case or criminal? In UAE especially.
3. What kind of legal implications can this man create for me here in India, since I have come back to India.
Thanks

That is their way. You gave some money can to settle with none. One thing. If other party is Arab and National of UAE you have to wait till they bombard law/s on you.
But why a lawyer will help you in this matter? And what you expect from Law?
Regards.
