NITIN:

1. You may circumvent the matter by declaring that the Blank Cheques for given as "Security", which is not considered as "liability", for the purposes of the N.I.Act.

It would have been better not to start a new thread rather post your subsequent posts under the same head.

Anyway, confine to the earlier replies.
ajay sethi (Expert) 06 July 2013
it is your case that total dues were Rs 20 lakhs . Rs 5 lakhs has been recovered against encahsment of BG . balance amount would be Rs 15 lakhs . they have filled in on eblank cheque and put amount of Rs 10 lakhs . since they have another blank cehque with them they will depsoit another cheque .

you have to contest the case on merits . they had issued legal notice to you before filing complaint under 138 Ni what was the stand taken by you in reply to legal notice ?
Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 06 July 2013
As your notice sent to the complainant on 22 Aug was defied by him, no complaint is maintaianable.

Blank cheque and security cheque has to be proved by independent evidence., only word of accused has no weight.

You have to contest the case on technical issues only.
DEFENSE ADVOCATE.-firmaction@g (Expert) 06 July 2013
Read what SUPREME COURT has to say in similar matters-

1) The view expressed by this Court in Electronics Trade & Technology Development Corporation Ltd. (supra) that a dishonour of the cheque by the drawer after issue of a notice to the holder asking him not to present a cheque would not attract Section 138 has been specifically overruled in Modi Cements Ltd. case (supra).

AGAIN SC IN 2012 ABOUT SECURITY AND BLANK CHEQUE.

2) According to the accused, he had borrowed only Rs.3 lakhs from the complainant and a blank cheque was offered as security to the complainant. It is suggested in the notice that the said cheque was misused by the complainant. This story has to be rejected in view of the promissory note (Ex-1)

SO UNLESS YOU CAN PROVE BY INDEPENDENT EVIDENCE ABOUT YOUR PLEADINGS MERE WORD OF THE ACCUSED HAS NO WEIGHT.
