Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Check bouncing case
My lawer has filed a criminal case against the accused for the check bouncing offence. Since then i'm attending the court for every calling work, however my lawer and accused are not attending. The Peon at the court room is lauging at me saying that unless i ensure the summons are received by Accused, the case will continue for 20 years and finally will be dropped by the court. What actions required from my side to ensure some progress in my case?

As an expert dealing with such cases i can tell you one thing frankly. Ask your lawyer to take interest or change the lawyer because unless your opponent receives summons no further action can be taken.

Firstly change your lawyer and then request the court for DASTI(By hand)summons in order to serve the accused.

Re: Check bouncing case

You first need to work out a fair arrangement with lawyer, where he is paid x amount for effective hearing and y amount, when case stage is not changed. Pay for PF/RC and personally ensure that service is made to the accussed.

If things do not work out, please change the lawyer immediately and work out someone on fair terms.

Most people seek very economical lawyers at low rates and for lawyers, economy do not work out after initial hearings and it becomes expensive affairs to handle the matter, therfore ensure that PF/RC is filed and your lawyer is paid per hearing for further progress.
