Re: 138/420

Your query is not very clear. You have to clearly write who wrote and whose name and what is the relation between the payee and the person who wrote the name. Further, also how did he have the cheque.

Without getting into your issue the core of cheque bouncing wil vest upon the legal liability which needs to be discharged. If there is no legal liability then section 138 is not attracted.
