You should consult with a lawyer immediately. The limitation period for cheque dishonour cases in India is 3 years from the date of the cheque. It’s crucial to understand if the case is still valid and what legal options you have. You need to prepare a defence and appear in court on March 15th.

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.

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?

My client issued a cheque on the 2nd of September, 2016. I presented it to the bank on the 4th of September, 2016, but it bounced. I informed the issuer about the dishonor, but only over the phone, not in writing. Now, I’m considering taking legal action. What legal remedies are available to me under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, or any other relevant laws, considering the cheque was issued on the 2nd of September, 2016?
