I sold my car on a 10-month payment plan, with the buyer agreeing to pay off the loan and transfer the car to his name afterwards. However, he’s skipped payments, bounced a cheque, and won’t even communicate. How can I get my car back and what legal options do I have?

You have the right to repossess the car as the seller and owner under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. You can file a civil suit for recovery of the car and damages for breach of contract. You can also lodge a police complaint for cheque bouncing under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.

My Intellectual Property case filed in Tirupati Civil Court in 2009 was dismissed in December 2016 because I hadn’t filed my income tax returns. I had given three blank cheques to someone in 2008, but the accounts are now closed. If they try to deposit these cheques, could they file a cheque bounce case against me? If so, can I appeal against the IP dismissal in the District Court, even though the time limit may have passed? What are my options?
