Based on the inputs provided by u i can only advice to tackle him on transaction for what purpose cheque was received

hope your advocate will do better.If it is a money transaction, burden is in your side , you have to prove that it is only a security not to dischage the liability.That a part, you have to produce the documents to the said dischage. Without proving the same, you cant succeed.

Thank you Mr. Anil sir, but let me know if court need any kind of proof from my side than what types of documents needed in defence becouse i made singnaure on that check and check was blank and rest of the things date, name or amount fillup by that check receiver.. and one thing more and the complainer person said in court  i give all that money in cash...

hi amul

as per the inputs you have provided transction is needed to be proved for what purpose the cheque was given and second thing as u mentioned,  you have only signed the cheque and other contents are filled by the receiver, in that case you can opt for handwritting expert opinion for the wriiting on the cheque.  this may also help you in establishing your defence of giving it for security purpose if  report shows two different handwritting on the cheque (one is your's and other by that receiver may be)

Dear Mr. Jani, You are  liable within meaning of Section 139 read with Section 118 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Both sections further read with Section 3, Section 4 and Section 114 of the Indian Evidence Act. You issued a "Blank Cheque" as a "Security" will not help. You will have to prove in trial with evidence that Cheque was issued as "Security". Otherwise it is advisable to compound the matter with other party to get rid of prosecution and consequent punishment within meaning of section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act.
