stop payment on check

Hello Sir,


I have a pvt ltd company in Bangalore, and there was a director in the company. He is also a signing authority on checks. He started misbehaving and I had to remove him from the company. He asked me 4 checks of 25000/- each and I gave him post dated checks. I was also paying him every month by cash and online transfer, the amount for his services but there is nothing in writing as to how much I had to pay him. He created some other problem after seperating  (again verbally only, he is still legal director of the company) and I stopped 3 checks (one check was cleared by then). Now, I lodged a poice complain that he had stolen the checks from office (while I had paid his dues via online fund transfer in my icici bank account).

- There is no way he can prove that there is legal liability for the amount.

- I have the proof that I had paid the amount via online fund transfer so the checks were not supposed to be given and he has stolen them (with poilice report)

- He is director of the company as well, and he is trying to do 420 with me else he himself can sign the checks as he himself is a signing authority.


Please share your views.


Thank you,

Vikas

Have you issued co., cheques by singing it or individual cheques it is not clear in your question.  Any how you have made stop payment, it is better to inform the same to director who is misusing the cheques.

Hello, Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I signed the company checks (both have signing authority on that). I did inform him via response to his legal notice. He has filed a case now, and I am made accused in the case.
