DO not confuse between two.

 

 

NI ACT notice will be given to him like any other person.

 

 

A Govt servant is expected to maintain absolute integrity and such integrity is not restricted  to official life only.  He has to maintain integrity even in private life as well. Issuing a cheque with insufficient balance is dishonesty and Govt employees have been charged with the same.  So in addition to notice under NI Act, a complaint can be given to his department giving details of the cheque bounced as the persons has failed to maintain absolute integrity.

 

Though the offence of NI Act is bailable but at times accused is unable to secure immediate bail and if taken in for 48 hours he is deemed suspended.

 

However if he gets bail in NI Act he is under obligation to report the same to the department and wait for his failure to report.

 

If he is convicted he can be thrown out by Govt without chargesheet.
