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.

My cheque bounce case from 2014 is stuck in the fast track court for three years now. I’ve been attending every hearing, but it’s not ending. The accused initially agreed to settle through Lok Adalat but hasn’t followed through. Now they’re delaying the case with unnecessary petitions and skipping hearings. I’ve even changed lawyers, but the case keeps dragging on. How can I get a judgment from the court? This has been a major struggle for three years. What are my options?

Dear Sir/Madam, Could you please advise on the steps to take if a cheque bounces in India? Thank you.
