Under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, you can file a criminal complaint against the drawer of the cheque. This will initiate legal proceedings against them for dishonoring the cheque. You can also file a civil suit to recover the amount owed to you.

I had a single cheque bounce case filed against me. The police even registered it. But we both sorted things out before the first hearing. The other party gave me a court order showing the case was dropped. I asked his lawyer to return the bounced cheque, but he said it was useless now and the court wouldn’t accept it. Is he right?

What happens if a court summons is sent to an address that’s changed, and no one receives it? Specifically, in a case where a cheque bounced due to a mismatch between words and figures in an agreement, what legal action can be taken? Should this be filed under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act or as a cheating case?

My friend gave me a promissory note 20 years ago and now wants me to pay the amount with interest. Can he still file a cheque bounce case against me after so long?

Can I file a case for cheating and bouncing a cheque if someone gave me a cheque after taking cash from me?

My friend needed a TV and bought it using my documents in 2014. He promised to pay the installments but only managed three before stopping. I was in a tight spot financially back then and couldn’t cover the ₹20,000 EMI. My checks bounced, and for three years, I heard nothing from the lender. Now, they’re demanding ₹75,000 with interest, threatening police action and even got my number from my bank. I’m terrified. What can I do?
