accrording to supreme court no court fees can be charged for cheque bouncing cases
accoridng to SC
How can you charge them for filing cases under the NI Act? There cannot be a justification for this. It is not a money-claim for recovering some amount but the legislature has made it a punishable offence...it is a penal charge,ā€¯

There is no court fee for a cheque bounce case as it is a criminal complaint.
A lawyer is free to quote any fees he desires and you are equally free to engage or not to engage him. It is not open to a client to negotiate the fees once the same has been agreed to by him, and the lawyer has done his part of the job. It is not even ethical to make a comment on the fees quoted by another lawyer as every lawyer is free to demand the fees of his choice.

You can either hire him or go to cheaper one. Choice is yours. No one stop u to inquire at 1000 advocates and waste their 500 hours FREE OF COST !!!
ONCE ENGAGED, AND HE SERVED YOU, U R LIABLE TO PAY AGREED FEES.
