You can file a civil suit for recovery of money based on the promissory note and bounced cheque. The court fees will depend on the amount of the claim and the court where you file the suit. You can consult a lawyer to get specific details.

My 78-year-old father signed as a guarantor for a loan my sister took from a non-banking finance company two years ago. She told him it was for opening a bank account and didn’t disclose the true purpose. She hasn’t repaid the loan, which has now ballooned to 4 lakhs, and the finance company has bounced a cheque she signed against my father’s account. I’m worried about the legal implications for him. Can I protect him in this situation? Is it even legal for a finance company to accept a 78-year-old pensioner as a guarantor? How can we prove his income and age make him ineligible for this role? What are our options for getting out of this mess?

A real estate company’s Vice President issued a handwritten receipt to a client for an office space booking. Later, the company claimed that their records showed a smaller amount than what the client’s receipt indicated. This discrepancy arose because the booking was initially made by a person named ‘B’ and then transferred to ‘A’. Faced with police pressure, the company forced ‘A’ and ‘B’ to settle the difference by depositing the missing amount. The company is now the first party, and ‘A’ is the second party. How can ‘B’ protect themselves from potential legal action under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act?
