Need help regarding cheque return

Hi experts,

Kindly note that one person need to pay me Rs.133638.00,for Rs.111435,ive a cheque and for balance ive proofs as mail communications.

When ive presented the cheque for first time in the bank,it returned and says that "Exceeds arrangement" and when the person ask me again me to present the cheque to the bank,it returned and says that "Payment stopped by the drawer".This happens 2 months ago,can i file a criminal case against him? Is there any quick way to get my money back..

 As you said cheque bounced 2 month ago, so you should  present the cheque again in your bank for filing a complaint u/s 138 of N.I Act & for the same you have to send a demand notice with in 30 days from the date of cheque returning memo.

Sure, u can file a criminal case against the person who has issued a cheque.

Before filing a case you have to issue a notice within 30 days from the date of receipt of bounced cheque.

You have to give 15 days time to make the cheque amount.

If he failed to pay the cheque amount within 15 days from the date of receipt of notice then you will have to file private complaint u/s200 of Cr.P.C. r/w sec 138 of NI Act.

Cause of action arises only once.

 PRESENT THE CHQ AGAIN, ISSUE LEGAL NOTICE 4 --30DAYS AND WAIT FOR REPLY, AFTER RECIPT OF NOTICE WAIT 15DAYS AND FILE CASE--

Adinath@Avinash Patil (advocate)     29 September 2009

PRESENT CHEQUE AGAIN  THEN YOU ISSUE NOTICE TO THE DRAWER  AS REQUIRED U/S 138 OF N.I. ACT. AND DEMAND  CHEQUE  AMOUNT. IF HE DOES NOT PAY CHEQUE WITHIN 15 DAYS  THERE AFTER   YOU FILE COMPLAINT.  YOU DON'T WORRY ABOUT PAYMENT STOPPED, BUT BE SURE  INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF CHEQUE IN DRAWERS ACCOUNT.
