I own a car and rented it out to someone for a while. They gave me a cheque and signed a rental agreement. However, the cheque bounced twice. Can I file a case against them for cheque bouncing and potentially fraud? The car is for personal use, not registered as a commercial taxi. Any advice on how to proceed?

Yes, you can file a case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for cheque bouncing. Additionally, you can explore options for fraud based on the rental agreement and the circumstances surrounding the bounced cheque. It is advisable to consult a lawyer to understand the legal implications and proceed accordingly.
