NI Act is about offence based on bounced cheque but not about any thing else.Damages can be claimed only through civil suit.

Thank God, you asked. Considering that this query is coming from a lawyer, now I am not surprised that one of my friends who filed a case against her husband for dishonour of cheque, even asked for divorce, maintenance under section 125 Cr.PC in the same complaint under Section 138 N.I. Act!!!

NI Act has specific purpose. Don't mix other issues with the same.
