Dear Client,
In the event that you are being sued for cheque bounce cases under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, then the correct legal course of action will depend on whether you are the complainant or accused. If you have received a statutory legal notice following the dishonour of the cheque, then it is vital that you do not ignore the notice and seek counsel from a lawyer to evaluate your legal situation and prepare a response. If you are the complainant, then make sure you comply with all statutory time lines before instituting the suit. Given the nature of facts that each cheque bounce case is based upon, it is recommended that you obtain legal guidance with all necessary documents.
I hope this helps and if you have any further issues do not hesitate to contact us.
