Dear Sir, I M Vinodh Kumar, Hyderabad would like to seek your advice.
I have borrowed Rs. 2 lakhs (1 lakh two times, in year 2007 and 2008 respectively)from one of the flat owner in my apartment. I signed promisary notes and gave two cheque of ICICI bank and SBI. I was paying interest every month through cash. In between in 2010, he asked to return my money. I was paying interest into the account of his cousin every month. I transferred Rs. 1.50 lakhs into his cousins account and Rs. 50 thousand handed over to him in cash. I completed the transaction and asked for the promisary notes and cheques. He replied that they are at his native place with cousin and return in 2 months times. There was a society dispute in the apartment and he was thrown out as secretary. He took the grudge onto me and asked to return hi 1 lakhs immediately. I went to police station with the threatening complaint but they refused to take it. He deposited 1 lakh cheque of ICICI bank and sent me legal notice. One of the lawyer sent him the reply that 2 lakhs were taken as loan and returned to his cousin through account transfer. However he filed a case against me.Sir please advice me how to proceed further in this case. I got summons to appear on 22-11-2013.

Yes, he has right to file Case against you, because first you deposit all amount in his cousin account in place of his account, second you have no any proof of payment his borrow amount, third you have no any such letter that proof his instruction to deposit said amount in his cousin as per instruction.
If you want to relief you may send notice to his cousin regarding the said amount.
do not worry you appear before court on that day and take bail, after that ready for next proceeding.

Agree with the expert, in the given circumstances, your case is very poor. You may send notice to his cousin for your money.

in 138 of n.i.act section 3,4, and 114(g) of evidence act read with section 5,6, 20, 118 & 139 of N.I act leads to a presumption in favor of the holder of the cheque, but the presumption is rebuttable. if you are having evidence that the interest and the principal amount is deposited in the account of the cousin of the holder you can file the documents u/s 243(1) along with a written statement as defence at the 1st instance before the court and further you are entitled to call the cousin of the holder as a witness to prove that the amount deposited by you in his account is the payment towards the holder as per the instruction of the holder and the above sum is after passed to him and the present complaint is vaxatious

Thanks to all for the response. I have transferred interest and principal amount into his cousins ICICI bank account through my ICICI bank account.
However, I have one question. What is the validity of promisary note? It is more than 3 years in my case. Will it help me?

promissory note is a letter signed by maker in favour of lender against borrow a sum, so there is no time bound to repay the said borrowed amount, hence it is valid for recovery of said amount and there is no time bound rule.

Sir, he has mentioned in his legal notice that the cheque was issued to him in the month of May-2013 and not in 2008. Is the cheque valid against this promisary note?

1) In criminal cases counter stories are rarely proved.
In this case even if it is proved that money is deposited in any other account than it was far legal dues of the complainant.
2) there are ample opportunities to demolish the story of complainant and any accused should put full efforts for same to sure win.
3) Two very recent RULINGS., LAST FORTNIGHT. will explain this theory.
ONE - DELHI HC convicted one person for seven years for decoity of Rs 150/- only.
SECOND- Bombay HC acquitted a doctor for death of his wife due to burning even there was death declaration.

I have the all the bank transfer details. I even went to police station to file complaint that he is threatening even though the money is paid. He is working for a media house in Hyderabad. therefore influencing police. One of my friend, a lawyer sent him the reply stating that the money is transferred to his cousins account and I have no liability. Even though he went and filed the case. I would like to know the possibilities of me winning the case. REgards
