Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

cheque bounce case

Lower court had made the judgement of paying double of cheque amount. But Opp. party went in the upper court to appeal. Now 1 year is over because Opp. party is purposely wasting the time. Now can I demand

1) To give me the cheque amount (i.e. bank deposit of Rs. 6 lakh deposited by the Opp. party. in the court) as I m suffering from heavy loss since case started (i.e. more than 6-7 years)

2) To give me the extra amount (other than that double amount - Rs.6 lakh is cheque amt & Rs.6 lakh is the penulty = Rs.12 lakh)

3) Opp. Party has now given the application to give back his bank deposit receipt; stating the cause that given deposit are matured therefore he will loose the interest of 1 year on that deposit. How can I oppose?

You can file an application for speedy trial with the local court. I think when you mention lower court, its ASJ court and not High Court. If this is the case you can move an application for speedy trial before High Court.

You can oppose the application filed by other party as you are suffering also and you are also loosing interest for the last 6-7 years.

For Query No.1 & 2 you need to apply to the Court and depending upon facts and circumstance of the case, court will pass necessary orders. As regards Query No.3, if return of deposit receipt without obligation to redeposit the same back in court after renewal, you can oppose the same.
