Being a homemaker from Rajkot, Gujarat, I find myself in a difficult situation. My husband, who started Vishw Group India in 2010, built machines like roofing sheet machines. He registered the business under my name for government benefits, though I have no experience in this field. Unfortunately, the business has been facing losses, and he hasn’t listened to my concerns. He gave a cheque to a customer as security, signed in my name, without informing me. Now, I am being sued under Section 138 for bouncing this cheque, which I never authorized. As a single mother with limited resources, I cannot afford legal fees. My family is also unable to help. I’m deeply distressed as I am innocent and unaware of the situation. Please guide me on how to navigate this legal trouble.

You are in a difficult situation but not without recourse. You can approach the court and explain that you were not involved in the business operations and did not authorize the cheque issuance. Seek legal aid from organizations or pro-bono lawyers for affordable representation.

I’m from Hyderabad and gave a cheque to a local agency in Jaipur. The agency closed in 2014, and the cheque was stopped. The company deposited the cheque in Jaipur despite no outstanding dues with the local agency. The local agency reopened in 2014, and I dealt with the company before the agency opened. They issued the cheque for security purposes. Before that, some pending CF forms and bills were sent to my office without my knowledge. I stopped some CF forms. How do I handle this situation? Please advise. Thank you.

I’m really stressed out! Back in October, a customer who’d bought from me twice before, asked for a cheque because the banks were closed for Diwali. He gave me a cheque for ₹2,500 on the 8th, but it bounced because his account was empty. He’s been making promises to pay in cash but keeps dodging me and now won’t even answer my calls. I told him I’d take legal action, but he just brushed it off. Now I really want to pursue this, but how do I go about it? Can I handle it myself, or do I need a lawyer? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I’m a student working at a security agency in India. I haven’t received my salary for the past three months despite working diligently. When I ask about it, I’m treated disrespectfully. Recently, I was given a cheque which bounced due to insufficient funds.

My friend and I have a joint bank account. We both signed a cheque, but it bounced due to insufficient funds. The person we wrote the cheque to is now threatening legal action against us. I’m willing to pay half the amount, but my friend refuses to pay his share. What legal options do I have in this situation?

My business partner and I had a disagreement, leading to the closure of our private limited company. He took control of the company’s chequebook and, without my knowledge, forged my signature on two cheques, withdrawing a large sum of money. These cheques bounced, and he filed a case against me, claiming the cheques were for a settlement agreement after he resigned. Despite the court ordering a signature verification from a government forensic lab, which proved the signatures were forged, he’s now seeking a second opinion from his own handwriting expert. Our company has suffered losses, with all the cash withdrawn through those forged cheques. What are my legal options, and is an opinion from a private handwriting expert likely to be considered by the court?
