You can file a criminal complaint against TGS Construction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for dishonoring your cheque. You should also issue a legal notice demanding payment within 15 days, and file a civil suit for recovery if they fail to comply.

I gave a cheque for ₹7 lakhs to someone, with the understanding it would be a security cheque if they provided expense receipts. They refused to give us the receipts and we specifically asked them not to deposit the cheque before informing us. We also stopped payment on the cheque. However, they went ahead and deposited it anyway, causing it to bounce. Now they’re threatening legal action if we don’t pay. What are our legal options? What if they take us to court? Could we get some time to pay? Is there an EMI option? Or can we fight this and avoid paying altogether? Please advise.

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 gave a token amount of Rs. 4,000 for a house I was planning to rent, but the cheque bounced due to low funds. I immediately contacted the owner and promised to pay in cash. When I arrived with the deposit (Rs. 25,000), his uncle was there and refused to accept cash without a proper receipt. He insisted on using a plain white paper for the receipt, which I refused. This angered them, and they tried to force me to pay in cash. I stood my ground and decided not to rent the house. I never signed any agreement or provided any documents. Now, the owner is threatening legal action and a fraud case due to the bounced cheque. He only has my phone number. What should I do?
