How to serve a notice of cheque bouncing in Delhi/India to the borrowers who has left his address?
I lent Rs. 70000/- to one of my friends two months back,he issued me a cheque of the same amount as a guarantee,now suddenly he has run away with his family.I wanna start a case of cheque bouncing against him.How I will serve him the notice and start this case ? We have copy of his Voter Card declaring his old address from where he has run away.Can we send the notice to that address and Will the court consider the notice served even if it will be reported that the borrower has left that premises? Is not it a duty of the borrower to furnish his new whereabouts to me,absence of which should he not be considered a defaulter itself and declared a fugitive?

A notice to the last known address is sufficient.

Left that premises does not attracts 138 of NI Act. Service of notice is mandatory. If you have got time just publish the notice in the leading news paper. Publication amounts to service of notice.
