I gave a builder Rs 6 lakh by cheque for a property deal, and he promised to pay me Rs 8.5 lakh after 5 months. He gave me 3 cheques worth Rs 2 + 2 + 2.5 = 6.5 lakh as security. One of these cheques bounced, and I’ve sent him a notice. Now he’s threatening to not pay. What are the legal fees and how long will it take to file a case in India?

You can file a case for breach of contract and cheque dishonor. Legal fees vary depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s expertise. The process can take several months, potentially years, depending on court workload and potential appeals.

जून 2014 से मई 2015 तक, मैं जतिंदर कुमार के नेतृत्व में मैनेजर पद पर कार्यरत था। DEALER-MANAGEMENT- ने मेरे प्रोत्साहन भुगतान के लिए ICICI बैंक खाता संख्या 049801504618 पर चेक नंबर 23918 बिना हस्ताक्षर और तिथि के लिया था। बाद में, उन लोगों ने एक साजिश के तहत चेक में खुद ही हस्ताक्षर करके और तिथि भरकर बैंक में जमा कर दिया। अब वे चेक बाउंस का झूठा ऋण मामला बनाने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं। 1. चेक पर तिथि और हस्ताक्षर मेरे नहीं हैं, और तिथि अलग स्याही से भरी गई है। 2. यदि ऋण या अग्रिम भुगतान लिया गया है, तो समझौता पत्र और रसीद का प्रमाण प्रस्तुत करें। 3.
