My Friend took a loan from his relative for Rs. 3 Lakhs. Due to urgency, he gave my account details and the amount was transferred to my account thru RTGS. Without my knowledge, he had given my cheques to the relative amounting to Rs. 1 lakh. After some time, my friend and his relative got into misunderstandings and he refused to pay back the money.
After this, his relative filed a private case against me under section 420 for cheating. Please note that there is NO cheque bounce case (section 138). He is accusing that I have taken the money from him and when he asked the money back I have told him that I took the money with the intention of cheating him. None of it is true.
There is no document between me and my friend's relative for the loan transaction. He has made his family as witness that I told him that I want to cheat him.
Please advise.
