Two years ago, we bought a house for ₹7,50,000. But the builder didn’t hand over the property and instead rented it out to someone else. We cancelled the deal and asked for our money back. After several attempts, he gave us ₹2,00,000 and a cheque for ₹5,00,000. However, the cheque bounced. We want to file a complaint against the bounced cheque. Can you advise us on the court fees for this?

Under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, you can file a complaint for the bounced cheque. The court fees for this complaint will depend on the value of the cheque (₹5,00,000 in your case) and the specific court you choose to file in. You can contact the court or a legal professional for precise details about the court fees.

I lost a cheque for ₹35,000 that I signed in January. Now, in November, someone called saying it bounced and threatened legal action unless I pay them ₹15,000. I immediately filed a police complaint on the same day. The bank isn’t helping. What can I do?

Dear Sir/Madam, My tenant issued me a cheque for ₹18,000 on June 11, 2016, for past due rent. The cheque bounced, and he left my property without informing me, moving to an unknown location. He also changed his mobile number. I’m unsure how to serve him a legal notice regarding the bounced cheque. Can I send it to the address in the rental agreement, which is his father’s residence, even though his father may refuse to accept it? Or can I get his current address through his bank? Would seeking police assistance to locate him be necessary? Thank you for your guidance.

Which legal section should I use to file a complaint for a bounced cheque in India: Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act or Section 156(3) of CrPC?

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.

Where can I file a complaint if someone writes me a bad check? Will the police arrest them? Can I file the complaint in my city or where the person who wrote the check lives?
