Re: cheque bounce

If thirty days from the date of receipt of intimation of the bouncing of cheque have not expired and there is still some days left as of now, you can yourself issue a notice by registered post acknowledgment due directing him to pay the cheque amount within 15 days of the receipt of the notice or deemed date of receipt of notice, failing which he would be prosecuted under Sec.138 of the N.I.Act. You should also issue another notice demanding him to return the company's properties within a time mentioned in the notice. If for the first notice, there is no proper response, you can file a complaint in the local I class Magistrate court against him under Sec.138 of the N.I.Act. Independently you can file a suit against him for the total amount due from him as also for return of the company's articles. Intimate the mobile company to stop servicing the mobile,he is illegally having.
