In India, you have 30 days from the date the cheque is dishonored to file a legal complaint. This time limit is stipulated under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.

Previous Article Good morning, sir. I have a couple of quick questions. Firstly, if someone’s right to life, as guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution, is violated, does that automatically become a legal issue in a petition? Secondly, will the Supreme Court registry be open this Saturday, the 25th of December? I’d be grateful for your insights, sir. Thank you.
Next Article I was working as a project manager for a private company, “martcom.co.uk,” until my manager asked me to leave on April 15, 2014, without settling my final dues. However, on February 16, 2015, an FIR was registered against me under the IT Act for data theft. They claim I used my personal email for company communication between April 15, 2013, and June 18, 2013, and that my manager accessed and controlled this email account. They also allege I accessed the company server using four dynamic IPs. I want to surrender and apply for bail. Is there a timeframe for getting bail in such a situation? Any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
