First question will come that from where you got money and whether it is disclosed in your income tax returns.

We are for the accused and in your opinion and expereince it is not easy to win any NI 138 case for the complainant.

Filing and winning are two defferent things long and long in time space.

sitting @ home while doing nothing wont fetch any solutions either...its always better to take legal recourse if u r a common man...other wise 1 can use his/her contacts alternatively.

m sticking to recovery of money and  cheque bounces only..............

Yes but advice is easy  but  to follow it is defficult since costs and time involved.

Somewhere you must accept realities.

Morevere it is normally not possible to believe that just on strengh of cheque such huge amount was parted.

If the complainant has taken the check [which has only the signature of the accused(in front of the court)] from the so the called accused's house without the accused's knowledge and used that as a weapon to file the case against the innocent accused then what is the maximum punishment the complainant will get if the case is proven as a forgery case...

Appreciate your help.

Winning or loosing under S.138 is difficult. Please note that in pure sense S.138 is applicable when cheque is issued for some legally justifiable existing liability. Complainant (and I am sorry to say most of the time complainant counsels)) spoil the case for complainant. In your case matter would require some Loan Agreement, Some Interest Agreement and on top of that your financial ability to that amount.

I can help only if you send me a copy of cheque, your notice and plaint copy, Mail me at advocate.dma@gmail.com

Hema, 

First of all your reply to Notice is to be looked into. Since the word accused is being used, it means proceedings are on. Counter case can be filed under various IPC sections. But please send me the details at advocate.dma@gmail.com
