138

Yes, it attracts 138 of N.I.Act. So far as the securing the attendence of the accused in such kind of matters, it is very much hectic, because accused inspite of service of summons may not apear in court and after warrants are issued against such accused who are foriegners, it is really impossible to execute the same according the procedure established.

So you wll  be lucky enough, if in your case the accused who may the foriegner if appears in court.

I am different opinion foreign cheques in foreign currency if bounced  section 138 of N.I. Act will not attracted . your qury is incomplite  you  have not clarified where transaction have occured and where cheque dishonured. whether  transaction occured in Indian currancy  or foreign currency . The said cheque is not enforceable by law in Indian courts .

The cheque was used after the account was closed by the foreign firm a year back.Cheque was in foreign currency and was diposited in India in an Indian bank.

Thanks/Regards

Go through the commentry of said section And case law on the same point you will find your answer.

you have not explained about place and about  coditions of contracts.Whether said  contract is legal and voilates any law,  has to be seen for detail answer for your qyery.
