I lent ₹2 lakhs to someone, and they gave me a cheque for the same amount, but without a date. They promised to add the date within a month so I could cash it. It’s been over two months now, and they’re not answering my calls. This person is politically connected, so I need to know what legal options I have to get my money back quickly and prevent them from using their influence.

You can file a legal notice demanding repayment and initiate a civil suit for recovery of the debt. Since the cheque is undated, it is considered incomplete and may not be legally enforceable. Consult a lawyer to assess your options and strategize the best course of action.

My uncle, my mother’s brother, filed a case against me. He claims I gave him a cheque back in 1992 for a business deal my father had with him. I wrote a simple note on the cheque stating it was for the bank’s transactions. Will his case hold up?

I gave a company five blank cheques at the start of a deal, specifying they were for safekeeping only. However, they delivered sub-par materials and way more than I ordered. I paid them the agreed amount via online transfer, after discussing it with the manager at the time. The company later dismissed the manager and deposited my blank cheques after filling in an amount. My proof is the chequebook, which shows the details of the blank cheques issued to the company, and the email I sent to them.

A year ago, two friends, let’s call them Amit and Bhavya, started a school. They appointed me, Chandan, as the principal and another friend, Divya, also worked there. We all invested some money in the school. Amit and Bhavya needed a school bus, so they asked Chandan and Divya to provide blank cheques with promissory notes. They used these cheques to borrow money from a financier. Sadly, the school had to shut down due to lack of permissions and low fees. Now, Amit and Bhavya are demanding their entire investment back, blaming us for the school’s failure. They haven’t even paid salaries for the last 8 months! I have all the evidence, including a message from Andhra Bank about a cheque for Rs. 5 lakh being received. Though we never took any money from them or the financier, they are claiming we are responsible. There was no formal partnership agreement between us. Now, they are threatening legal action. What should I do?

My previous workplace closed down, and the salary cheque they gave me bounced. Any advice on what I should do?

The person who gave me a cheque has stopped payment on it. What legal options do I have in India?
