Hello people from the Law fraternity, please help me with my query.
1. A client of mine is a goldsmith who gave a gold set to a person who gave him a cheque for it, which eventually got bounced due to insufficient funds. Section 138 NIA, I am sure.
2. The address provided by the person (the one who gave the cheques) turned out to be fake amongst other things. Section 420, right?
Now, to trace this person, do we have to lodge a complaint at the local police station? Or should we go for 138 + 420 the magistrate way. The only thing we have is his phone number and nothing else. I am also thinking if Order 37 would be helpful here, if invoked?
Please tell me the best course of action. Do we lodge a complaint for 420? (I know police isn't involved in sec. 180) or something else? Requesting a step by step solution from you guys.
Looking forward to help at the earliest. Please revert.
Thanks!
