My client, who was a director of a private limited company, passed away a month ago. He had given me some cheques, which were dishonored when I presented them. The bank cited the drawer’s reason. What legal options do I have now? His wife is the sole director of the company.

You can file a legal claim against the company for dishonoring the cheques. You will need to present the dishonored cheques, the bank’s statement, and proof of your client’s death. As the wife is now the sole director, she is responsible for the company’s debts, and you can pursue recovery from her as well.
