Loan given on trust

I had given a loan to someone on trust and received cheques for the same, now I am in thought what if he filed a petition for insolvency,. Loan is given for personal purposes.

What remedy available to me? What should i do?



Quick Summary
If you've lent money based on trust and received cheques, you may be concerned about the borrower filing for insolvency. Fortunately, you can still pursue legal action. A cheque bounce case under Section 138 of the NI Act can be filed and will not be stopped by an insolvency petition. It is advisable to consult a local lawyer to initiate proceedings for cheque bounce and a suit for recovery.

The cheque bounce case under section 138 NI act can be filed against him.

The cheque bounce case will not be abated even if he files an insolvency petition to absolve him from his liabilities.

The borrower has not yet filed insolvancy petition, which is stated to be "thinking" you should proceed to file a complaint u/s 138 of NI Act, 1881 as well as suit for recovery of the amount through a local prudent lawyer.
