Criminal case filing against cheque bounce

you have two options

1.You can send a legal notice to opposite party to give the money back and once you receive reply from opposite party you can fie a civil case in civil courts.

You need to take DD for the 12lac amount 

2.you can file a cheque bounce case on him and this will lead to his arrest 

Since the provisions of 138 NI Act is barred by limitations at this stage, you can better lodge a police complaint u/s 420 for cheating and simultaneously file a suit for recovery of money in a civil court too.

I endorse the views expressed by shri T.Kalaiselvan.

It can not attract any criminal action since it is purely a civil matter.

More over questions will be asked by the other side advocate how and why you parted with such a huge amount.

When such matter reach APEX COURT than  in many such cases SC has asked why there was no agreement and why no interest was charged for such a huge amount.

And it depends in which state you are, THAN  it will attract money lending act against you. AP and Maharashtra have very strict law in such matters.

I need some details relating to your query which are as follows :-

T he date of cheque  and the name of the Bank and its Branch. 

The date when you tendered before the Banker

Whether the cheque is a bearer cheque or account payee.

If the bounced cheque is account payee then what is the cause shown by the Banker SUCH AS PAUCITY OF FUND, REFER TO DRAWER, OR INSUFFICIENT FUND

When the cheque was bounced whether or not you send any legal notice demanding the cheque amount.

Respected Lawyers And Members,

Now according to the latest mumbai high court judgement dated 24/12/2013 case no. WP/4429/2013 on this basis opponent party has apply for cancelation of NBW warrant on non presence though advocate.

So, kindly guide me in this case, what step we can take further.
