You can file a memo before the trial court mentioning this lapse on the part of the accused and pray to court to immediately direct the police to arrest him and send to Jail.

File an execution petition before Trial Court.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate)     14 July 2025

In a cheque bounce case (under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act), if the court finds the accused (drawer) guilty, it typically issues an order for the accused to pay the cheque amount, possibly with additional fines or imprisonment.  If the accused fails to pay as per the court's order, the complainant (the payee) can file an execution petition. This petition is a request to the court to take further steps to enforce the judgment. 

The execution petition allows the court to employ various methods to recover the money from the accused, such as:

  • Attaching the accused's assets. 
     
  • Seizing and selling the accused's property. 
     
  • Directing the arrest of the accused. 
     
  • Other relevant legal procedures to ensure the judgment is satisfied.

Is your client interested more interested in sending the accused to jail or in getting his money back? Now-a-days, it is seldom that Courts award such prolonged imprisonment.
