Mr Srinibas as per new amendment,in case of a cheque bounce you have to issue demand notice within 30 days from the date of receipt of cheque return memo/covering letter from the bank,where in you have to give 15 days time from the date of receipt of notice, for refund of the cheque amount.After the notice is duly received and 15 days time expired ,you have to file the case in court within 30 days from the date of expiry of 15 days duration.

Is it not better to file criminal complaint through local Police Station so that it becomes a State vs the Accused ?
