Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in India
Supplied material on credit. Outstanding were remained un paid since 2008-2009.
Security cheque had been collected. But the company closed down operation as well as their bank account in 2011. I was constantly in touch with the party on phone for the settlement of my due. Some amount has been paid. The major amount is not paid.
How I will recover my money ? Can I use the blank security cheque leaves to draw my dues and present in my bank and if bounced file a suit against the party for check bouncing offence under rule 138

Dear Sir / Madam,
Yes. You should deposit the security cheque(s) mentioning the total outstanding due amount therein and should they bounce, you should file a recovery suit under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1938 against the defaulter, within a period of 30 days of receipt of intimation by your Bank of the cheque(s) having bounced.
Regards,
