Engage a lawyer issue a legal Notice for Dishonor of cheque.

If no reply from him, file a criminal case against him, and approach to special recovery tribunal for your amount

What is your Location?

Hello,

Issue a legal notice to the other party within  30 days from the day u got the memo from the bank.

if he do not make good of your loss after notice then you can file a criminal case under section 138 of NI act in the court having jurisdiction over the drawer bank.

Hello Manjunath,

Present the cheque to the bank one more time and see if it is honored. If not, you have to issue a Legal Notice with the help of a lawyer within 30 days from the time you get intimation of the bouncing of the cheque from the bank asking for a reply to your notice within 15 days. If you did not get any reply to the notice sent by your lawyer even after 15 days, you can file a cheque bounce case under Sec 138 of NI Act against your friend.

All the best!

I had lent an amount of 50 k to an acquaintance by cheque .He gave me a post dated cheque of the same amount as repayment of loan, payable  after six months. and the validity is nearing its end. I know his bank balance is nil. So I asked him to issue a fresh cheque to buy more time. But he has become elusive and avoids meeting me. I am planning to take action under  NI act. My questions are :

1. That I paid him an amount of Rs. 50000/-  by cheque is  a proof of legally enforceable debt. ?

2. I suspect he may change his residence to avoid receiving my notice. How can I ensure delivery of registered  notice?

3. Can a third person receive such notice on behalf of the acquaintance  and the same be considered as the notice having been served provided the third person adduce evidence in court of having delivered the registered notice to the said acquaintance

Hi Mukut,

My answers to your questions are:

1.  Yes. the cheque through which you paid the money is a valid proof for a legally enforceable debt. However, you may need to back up your claim for the money and provide ample evidence (viz hand loan) to the court to show that you gave the money to your acquaintance for some purpose and the acquaintance accepted the same. Without this how can you prove that your claim is a bonafide one and against this particular acquaintance?

2. As soon as the notice is sent to the address of the acquaintance, it is to be considered as duly served and keep the acknowledgement of the notice served with you for the purpose of showing it to the court.

3. Yes. even if a third person receives such notice on behalf of the acquaintance, the same is considered as the notice having been served provided the third person adduce evidence in court of having delivered the registered notice to the said acquaintance.

First of all please find out whether the person is solvent that is his financial position is proper to pay your does . Or he has any property or income sources.If not all your efforts will be futile.

 

If he is capable than service of notice, filing of case and service of court summons is normal task which can be arranged legally and properly.
