REGARDING THE QUESTION ABOUT CHEQUE BOUNCE CASE KINDLY NOTE THAT
1.THE PRESENT LAW PROVISIONS OF NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS ACT ARE CLEARLY
ATTRACTED IN CASE ANY CHEQUE GETS DISHONOURED WHICH WAS ISSUED FOR LEGALY ENFORCEABLE DEBT.
2.KINDLY NOTE THAT TRANSACTION OF GOODS SUPPLIED AND CHEQUE ISSUED FOR PAYMENT OF AMOUNT OF INVOICE FOR GOODS SUPPLIED, THIS IS A PERFECTLY LEGALY ENFORCEABLE DEBT AND THE CHEQUE VOLUNTARILY ISSUED FOR THE CONSIDERATION RECEIVED IN CASE THE SAME IS DISHONOURED WILL ATTRACT THE PROVISIONS OF SEC.138 OF NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS ACT. AND THERE IS PROVISION OF TWO YEARS IMPRISONMENT AND COMPENSATION WHICH MAY BE THE EQUAL AMOUNT OF CHEQUE DISHONOURED AND FINE.
KINDLY NOTE THAT I HAVE WON SEVERAL CASES UNDER NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS ACT.SEC.138 AND GOT ACCUSED PERSONS ACQUITED.BUT KINDLY NOTE THAT EVERY JUDGEMENT WILL DEPEND ON FACTS OF EACH CASE WHICH ALWAYS DIFFER.
KINDLY FURTHER NOTE THAT THE OFFENCE UNDER SEC.138 OF N.I.ACT.,IT IS A CASE WHICH IS TO BE HANDLED WITH CARE .THERE ARE HARDLY ANY POINTS OF DEFENCE.HENCE DONOT RELY ON ANY HEARSAY RUMOURS UNLESS YOU HAVE SOLID PROOF WITH YOU.BUT KINDLY NOTE THAT IN CASE THE CASE IS STUDIED CAREFULLY THERE ARE GOOD CHANCES OF ACQUITAL ALSO.
KINDLY NOTE THAT DONOT TAKE CHANCES UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY COPY OF JUDGEMENT WITH YOU.
IN CASE YOU NEED ANY FURTHER HELP KINDLY SEND DETAILS
WITH BEST REGARDS
THANKING YOU
YOURS SINCERELY
