Once posted , at true and correct address, NOTICE IS DULY SERVED, on the date written by Postman on back of Envelop.
Wait for 20 days to a month and file case.
138 NI is for punishment, not recovery.
Compensation u/s 357 cr p c ,and it can be max double the cheque amt, at discretion of Magistrate.
case takes 1-3 years depending o Advocates/ burden of cases in court. fast track court is v fast, say within 6 months

fees would vary from lawyer to lawyer . if party claims notice not received then you have to show postal acknowledgment received by you
15 days time given to make payment after receipt of notice. can be sentenced to imprisonment for 2 years

But the office of the party is closed at the moment. no one to receive the notice?
What happens in this case?
I believe if no one receives the notice from the postman, it is not an acknowledgment right??
Also HOW FAST THE CASE CAN GO ON IN FAST TRACK COURT???????
