My lawyer sent a legal notice on September 23rd regarding a bounced cheque. Is there a deadline for filing a case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act? Can I still file a case against the other party?

Being a homemaker from Rajkot, Gujarat, I find myself in a difficult situation. My husband, who started Vishw Group India in 2010, built machines like roofing sheet machines. He registered the business under my name for government benefits, though I have no experience in this field. Unfortunately, the business has been facing losses, and he hasn’t listened to my concerns. He gave a cheque to a customer as security, signed in my name, without informing me. Now, I am being sued under Section 138 for bouncing this cheque, which I never authorized. As a single mother with limited resources, I cannot afford legal fees. My family is also unable to help. I’m deeply distressed as I am innocent and unaware of the situation. Please guide me on how to navigate this legal trouble.

My father is owed Rs. 40,000 by someone who’s been delaying payment. After repeated requests, they gave a check for Rs. 20,000, but it bounced. We found out they emptied the account the day before. What steps can we take under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 to recover the money?

My neighbor, whom I don’t know very well, gave me a check from the J&K Bank. It bounced on July 13th, 2016. How can I protect my money? Should I file a criminal case against him directly? Do I need to send a notice first? Can I try to deposit the check again after a month? What’s the best way to handle this situation?

Hey,I’m working for a private firm in Gurgaon. They took a cheque of ₹90,000 from me as a security deposit for a 2-year bond. However, I haven’t signed any official bond or paperwork related to that cheque. They just gave me a receipt. If I leave the company before 2 years and ask the bank to stop the payment, can they legally take action against me?

My friend needed a TV and bought it using my documents in 2014. He promised to pay the installments but only managed three before stopping. I was in a tight spot financially back then and couldn’t cover the ₹20,000 EMI. My checks bounced, and for three years, I heard nothing from the lender. Now, they’re demanding ₹75,000 with interest, threatening police action and even got my number from my bank. I’m terrified. What can I do?

I lent a friend ₹20,000 and gave them a blank cheque as a guarantee. I later paid them back in cash. However, they gave the cheque to someone else who filled it out for ₹80,000 and it bounced. Now, I’m facing a cheque bounce case and my lawyer says I’ll lose if I go to court. He wants me to settle out of court for ₹1 lakh. I feel cheated and helpless. What should I do?

My company, based in Mumbai, supplied materials to RTS Engineers in Wada on September 3rd, 2016. We were paid with a cheque drawn on Bank of Baroda, Powai, Mumbai, issued by Euroclima Mumbai. Sadly, this cheque bounced twice in the last two months. We’ve been patiently requesting payment since the first bounce, but unfortunately, our requests have been ignored. We’re now considering legal action, including serving a notice and potentially filing a criminal case. What steps should we take to ensure we get our due payment?

My friend, I’m caught in a tough spot. I’m facing a bounced cheque case, but the cheque itself has never been shown in court! They’re relying on a police report and statement that says the cheque was lost. This case is dragging on for 7 years now because I was studying abroad. What should I do? Settle or fight? If I fight, what are my chances?

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?

My husband gave a cheque to a friend last year. He just found out that the friend’s account had no money! He got a bank statement to prove it and warned my husband. I’m really worried – what should we do?
