I am complaint in fir us 409 and 420. The case is under trial. But one day accused came to my house with a bank draft in my name for the cheated amount and asked to give hostile statement and saying if i give statement in court in his favour and if court discharge him then he will give the bank draft after courts order. But i refused . Then he went. Later on he cancelled the draft. Whether his such action is any way offence under criminal laws. Whether i should inform this act to police or court.

You may lead evidence as to the incidents during trial.

Whether the said draft was purchased and got cancelled by the accused himself or any of his family member?
Gather information from Bank if possible.
You can include the fact in your statement to the court after discussion with your lawyer.

Do you have any such evidence to prove your version? If so, move an application before the court.
Otherwise, nothing has changed in evidence, no action can be initiated. It was the mind-set and attempt of accused which did not work.

May be accused trying to negotiate a compromise settlement, well if the compromise was not in your interest, you may ignore it and concentrate in your case.
