1) cheque law is short and it is not like any other criminal or civil case.

 

2) Complainant has to prove that it was the cheque of the accused and bounced for want of funds. This is enough for convication.

 

Since the law mandates that when cheque was given it was against a legal liability.

 

3) All your arguments in the attached document will go against you.

 

THE CHEQUE CASES HAVE TO BE CONTESTED ON TECHNICAL ISSUES ONLY.
