My father helped a lady with money. When we asked for repayment, she gave cheques. After giving cheques, she slowly repaid 40% of the amount and gave new cheques for the remaining amount. She did not repay anything after that. We bounced the cheques and filed a case in the court. Bailable warrant is issued and she has not come to the court yet.
The problem is, she has taken more money from my father after issuing the cheques promising that whole amount will be repaid if my father agrees to give more money. My father agreed and gave her more money even after the cheques were issued and bounced. There is no agreement, we have phone chats for the money taken.
Now for this portion of money, we don't have cheques from her. The whole amount is paid through bank account though.
My question is how can we do legal recovery of whole amount. Is it good to go to police? I have a strong doubt that she has given fake reasons to take money from my father if we dig into the whole story. Can we file 406 or 420 apart from 138 for the amount for which we don't have cheques? She is saying she will return all the amount but not repaying and not coming in the court as well.
