if you have any agreement or pro note, than file a case, and before send her last stayed house address for legal notice.

You can file a suit for recovery but how can you execute decree when she is bankrupt.
Guest (Querist) 07 August 2013

Guest (Querist) 07 August 2013
under which act of india penel court this act will be registered
prabhakar singh (Expert) 07 August 2013
Bankrupt means person with no sources to meet his/her liabilities.

The transaction is of civil nature and no criminal charges can be blamed.
Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 07 August 2013
The proof that the money was given to her is the electronic transfer of money. Whether any request from her exist or any acknowledgement is there.

Apart from all these for getting decree You have to pay ad volerm court fee + lawyers fee (Total min. 15000/-) + time aprox 2-3 years. You can not execute decree, if obtained after this exercise, as she is not in a position to pay.

Either, forget the amount straightway or proceed legally, you will not get any thing in both the ways in given conditions.

Humble pursuit will be the best course of action for the time being, as electronic transfer of money does not necessarily denote loan/ debt liability unless you have exchanged correspondence with her to repay the money and would have received any reply admitting her to pay the money. So, at first send her two/ three written requests by speed post or registered post and wait for reply before you serve her with a legal notice, if you really want to adopt the legal recorse.
