Sir,

You have not stated whether based on agreement/compramise, Jeweller withdrawn the case already filed? If not withdrawn, maintain the case against him and get the order for arrest warrant if he is not appearing before Court.  you stated that there is one more cheque that got bounced, check when is the limitation to issue  legal notice and proceed to file case against him for that cheque.  If the limitation completed for this, then go to the concerned police station and give a complaint stating all the facts without any suppression of compramise between jeweller and accused, and follow up the complaint till the FIR is registered for the entire amount.  See whether third chque get cleared, otherwise you need to file another case for that March cheque.  Simultaneously you need to maintain Section 138 cases as well as the police complaint, by this there is a possibility that the accused come and settle the matter.

thank you for your quick response.

unfortunately the original case was withdrawn by us which was the condition for the agreement.my question is what is the best course of action

1 we should again file cheque bounce case under 138 in his city.

2 we should file 420 case in our city and need not file 138 in his city

3 we should file 420 case in our city and file 138 in his city.

please answer the most effective remedy with reasonable cost involvement

thank in advance
