Re: Bounce Cheque

the notice for the payment of bounced cheque needs to be issued within a month for taking an action in negotiable instruments act. you need to redeposit the cheque of 10L along with the cheque of 30 L and then send the notice for both the cheques together or separately within one month of them bouncing. then after the receipt of notice, the complaint may be filed within 45 days.

limitation is strict in S138 case and therefore contact a local lawyer with details immediately

Re: Bounce Cheque

Your time limit for taking action under the Negotiable Instruments Act may have expired. You may consult a lawyer who may advise you after perusing your documents. A civil suit for recovery may be maintainable.

Before you opt for a prosecution process

for the the defaulted cheques in writing giving

some fixed time,in default you may file a suit

under Negotiable instrument Act. Be sure

that the cheque was meant for refund of your

advance amount deposited for an apartment

Re: Bounce Cheque

iT SEEMS AS IF YOU WANT TO LOSE ALL YOUR MONEY AND RECOVER NOTHING.

The builder is actually waiting for you to delay the matter so that the cheques become invalid and then he will not be under any criminal liability and you will be after him for years without getting anything.

The notice of cheque bounce has to be given within 30 days. If you have not done so...so to some good advocate TODAY itself. Or you are likely to lose all your money.
