We filed complaint with Banking Ombudsman at Mumbai against SBI, Mumbai ..... SBI, Mumbai received reply from SBI, Bhadohi that they have not recieved the 3 cheques ..... theafter after about 61/2 months we received the 3 cheques by post from SBI, Mumbai with SBI, Bhadohi Branch memo stating reasons ' cheques invalid ' we thereafter met Branch Manager, SBI, Mumbai and he stated positively that SBI, Bhadohi Branch is playing fraud and he has received proof of delivery from department of posts that the 3 cheques had been received by SBI, Bhadohi .... on written application by us SBI, Mumbai has given us copy of the proof of delivery obtained from department of posts ....

 cheques invalid does not attracts the NI Act, it is the negligence of the bank.  So file a consumer case against both the banks or claim a damages against the badhoi bank.

Well it's more than 2 months since I filed our complaint with Banking Ombudsman, Kanpur, but we have no report as to what has happened to our complaint against SBI, Bhadohi. ( my facts/query mentioned above )

Now I am thinking of filing criminal complaint as well as file complaint with the Consumer Court. Question is who do I make as the Accused in the criminal complaint, the Branch Manager, Bhadohi & the Drawer/s of the cheque .... Can I make the Board of Directors of SBI as Accused in the criminal complaint and/or the Managing Director of SBI, Local Head Office under whose administrative jurisdiction, SBI, Bhadohi Branch functions ?
