You should file a revision before the Sessions Judge against the cognizance/summoning order.

It seems that the alleged cheque was allegedly signed by your son in some capacity of your company. That is why you are made accused. If you are a prop. or a director, you can be made accused.

Dear Mr. Shonee Kappor,

It seems that the alleged cheque was allegedly signed by your son in some capacity of your company. That is why you are made accused. If you are a prop. or a director, you can be made accused.

No I have nothing to do with this cheque AT ALL and my son is independent and was prop of the firm which issued the cheque.
thanks for your time

Dear Mr. V R Shroff,

You challenge the issue of process against you in revision to sessions court, on Following Ground

1] You are not signatory of cheque
2] No notice was issued to you, or received
3] the cheque was neither issue nor signed within last one year as signatory is not residing, nor visited India since 2008.So Cheque is barred by limitation, stale as over 6 months
4]claim is of over 3 years.
5] you are neither liable, nor a party to issue cheque

Thank you and answer to point of 2) is "The notice was sent to my son company with particulars of some other case not related to present complaint.The notice was very vague & not relevant and probably it was cut & paste job done by some Advocate"

Kindly enlighten me whether is there a way
to seek compensation or prosecution of the complaint for filing this false/malicious complaint to damage undersigned reputation.
I may mention here that undersigned is actively involved in litigation of getting the Section 4 disclosures of RTI Act 2005 on District Court Web site and now the District court PIO has an excuse to give me sermons or show me in bad light.

looking forward to some enlightenment on the above.
thanks
