A person has given me a cheque on Feb, 2016 and returned as "STOP PAYMENT". I enquired at the Drawer's bank, they said request for STOP PAYMENT for this cheque had been given in the month of OCT, 2015 itself (5 months before). That is, That person has given me a cheque which is already in STOP PAYMENT staus. He has mentioned in the bank that he missed the cheque, so he asked for STOP PAYMENT for this cheque it seems. Now, that guy is threatening me like, I taken that cheque from him without his knowlegde and submitted for clerance now. I have written document (stamp paper) also where he signed when he borrowed money from me. Can I go and file a cheque dishonour case against him or I just put civil suit using the stamp paper for recovery. If i go for cheque dishonour case will it affect me in any way? Please advice.
