Under the Indian law, you have a period of three years from the date of the cheque bounce to file a legal case. This means you had until February 2019 to file a case.

However, they’re not willing to listen and are threatening legal action under sections 406 and 138. What should I do? What can the police do in this situation?

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.

A friend borrowed a significant sum from me, promising to repay. Later, he refused to honour his commitment. Feeling betrayed, I insisted on a guarantee. He provided blank company cheques and a signed affidavit stating his willingness to repay. However, he subsequently stopped the cheques and disappeared.

Next Article Dear Sir/Madam, I, Mrs. N. Suneetha, 52 years old, am writing to seek your kind attention to a land dispute I am facing. I purchased a plot of land measuring 35×40 in Madavara village in 1997, vide site no. 18, khata no. 173:01 and SA No. 65:08. This purchase was through a registered sale deed at the Basaveswara Nagar Sub-Registrar Office. Since then, I have diligently paid all taxes. However, in 2005, another individual, Mr. Subramani, also registered the same property with the original owner, despite an encumbrance certificate showing the land in my name. He now claims ownership and is obstructing my efforts to build a boundary wall to secure the property. He is also threatening me. I urge your intervention to ensure justice is served, as I purchased this land with my hard-earned money and have no other recourse.
