Receipt issued and cancelled after that, but photocopied

sir,

my client have issued receipt of Rs.15000 to a person for a financial concern. but that receipt got cancelled within 10 minutes as after going outside the receipt holder came again and requested to refund the amount due to some urgency in family.

my client at that time cancelled that receipt and paid the amount.

now that person is defaulter in loan and we filed a case of s.138 against him. In the court he is showing photocopy of that receipt and saying that we had not deducted that amount in his account.

truth is that he had got cancelled his receipt and now want to make use of that photocopy.

is it make any sense in the court.

whwther the photocopy can affect us in any way.

original receipt with carbon copy is with us.

what are the suggestions for me .

pls guide me as I am new.

thanx in advance for sparing your time .

dear querist,

its a question of fact and understanding in business matters and account deals whenever we issue any receipt there are two copies of that receipt first one is original one and second one is carbon copy,if we believe in your story then when your client comes abck to you for the cancellation of that receipt,accouint rules says that you will keep both the original copy and carbon copy attached again with each other and mark them cancelled the way you issued it and after this if your client is showing that xerox copy of original receipt which is cancelled ,stand no where and you can also lodge case of 420 ipc against him alongwith 138 nia act ,feel free to call if you had left any query.
