Adv Patel,

Specific case not required.

Only that you must prove liability.

Please enlighten me on above points and more specifically on the point of jurisdiction and admissibility of document

Rs. 100/- stamp paper will do for evidence. It is Cr. p c [ Not Civil PC]

Its all OK. Matter of Evidence at later stage of prosecution.

you have stated specific cause of action is not pleaded in complaint . what are the facts mentioned in complaint .

does it not mention that pursuant to loan agreement entered inot with accused loan was given . the accused had submitted guarantee , submitted title deeds of property . in repayment of loan cheque issued which were dishonoured on presentation .you have to mention legal notice issued on time and thata ccused has faield to make payment on time . the cheque was issued in discharge of debt due and payable .

where have you filed the comp[laint? your query is completely silent on that aspect .

if complainant registered office is in pune , accused is in bangalore then ordinarily pune or bangalore would have jurisdcition . if as per agreement it is specifically provided that in event of disputes only madras has jursidiction you ought to have played safe and filed complaint in madras
