1. Cheque bounce case is a "private criminal case" and has to be filed u/s 138, by the complainant in the Magistrates Court. Complainant is entitled to 20% of the cheque amount as "interim relief", which has to be returned with interest to the Accused, IF accused gets acquitted.
2. Police has no jurisdiction to register any FIR or file Charge-Sheet, for cheque bounce matters, unless it is a case of forgery & fraud etc....
