Please check whether you have typed the question properly.

sanjoy kumar (advocate)     10 January 2009

I don'nt know what is your case. But on perusal of your statements, it could gathered that the guaranter "X" has certainly issued a cheque and the same has been bounced.


This is enough to establish a case u/s 138 of the N.I. Act.

i agree

thx for ur reply sir,


lemme tell u the facts.


"a" has borrowed loan of Rs.10000/- from "c", n for this transaction "b" stands as a guarantor.


now, a failed to repay the loan to "c", hence "b" every now and then came to "a" and demanded to clear the loan.


"a" inturn issued a cheque in fovour of "b" who is guarantor. The  cheque should have been issued in fovour of "c" from whom the loan has been taken.


there is no eveidence to show that till now "b" has cleared the loan amount to "c"


my question is that is legally "b" entitled to enforce the debt????? and file a criminal complaint for bouncing the cheque????????

Jainodin shaikh (Lawyer)     22 January 2009

If the cheque issued in favour of B is bounced them he is entitled to file a complaint u/s 138 of N.I.Act. Whether or not the cheque was issued to discharge the legal liability is the point of trial, perhaps is a strong defence available to A

I could on gather fromm your statement that gauranter issued a cheque and that has been bounced.


i wiuld suggest you that if the partnership firm has taken the money and the cheque was issued by the gurantor then whether their has occured any agreement between the debtor and creditor, or what consideration has been shown if the gurantor is served with the notice


kindly tell so that i could help you

thx for ur replies. probly you have mistaken the case. lemme brief u the case


"A" is a partnership firm who has taken loan from "C"


"b" is the guarantor for loan transaction


"C" is person who gave loan to "A" (partnership firm)


partnership firm failed to discharge loan to "C".


later by  "A"(p'ship firm) issued cheque to "B" (GUARANTOR) for discharge of loan amount.


actually the cheque should have been issues to "C" who actually gave the loan but the cheque was issed to guarantor.


lagally is guarantor entittled to recover from partnership firm?????


 

nitin (advocate)     26 January 2009

dear sir


no, gurantor complaint is not maintenable, as cheque was issued by the partnership firm to gurantor instead, it was to be issued in favour of "c" and as per the supremecourt judgements and according to the statutory provisions of NI act their should some lawful considersation to discharge the libality, and here no such consideration is thier
