You can file a complaint with the Labour Commissioner, seeking recovery of your unpaid salary. You can also file a criminal complaint against the company for cheating and dishonoring a cheque.

My cousin, who also manages my finances in another town, had been lending me money for my business at a high interest rate. Unfortunately, he misused a signed checkbook I’d entrusted him with, leading to a bounced check. He and his partner then filed a case against me, claiming I hadn’t repaid the loan. I did return the loan in cash, but their bank statements show an outstanding balance. The lower court convicted me, despite my lack of evidence proving I gave them the checkbook. I was sentenced to a year in prison, with the option of paying the remaining debt or facing another three months. I’m planning to appeal this decision in the district court. What are my chances of success?

I was pressured into buying a health insurance policy, and signed a blank cheque. Later, I discovered that the policy’s premium was higher than other options from nationalized companies. I immediately asked the agent to cancel the policy, but he refused. I then contacted my bank to stop the payment.

A year ago, two friends, let’s call them Amit and Bhavya, started a school. They appointed me, Chandan, as the principal and another friend, Divya, also worked there. We all invested some money in the school. Amit and Bhavya needed a school bus, so they asked Chandan and Divya to provide blank cheques with promissory notes. They used these cheques to borrow money from a financier. Sadly, the school had to shut down due to lack of permissions and low fees. Now, Amit and Bhavya are demanding their entire investment back, blaming us for the school’s failure. They haven’t even paid salaries for the last 8 months! I have all the evidence, including a message from Andhra Bank about a cheque for Rs. 5 lakh being received. Though we never took any money from them or the financier, they are claiming we are responsible. There was no formal partnership agreement between us. Now, they are threatening legal action. What should I do?

The person who gave me a cheque has stopped payment on it. What legal options do I have in India?
