This query is : Resolved
My customer(a closely held public limited company) owed to me (I am a limited company) Rs 5 lac. After a lot of persuation he made a payment of Rs 5 lac to me but from another private limited company in which he also was a director, on behalf of the 1st company .
That is, the customer cleared the dues from his second company.
There is no written commitment/agreement between us in this regard.
Is third party transfer valid/covered u/s 138?
Please help. If you can list some good latest authorities of Supreme / High courts please help.

The skill of criminal advocate is that he / she should be able to contest from any side with results.
So I am an advocate for accused in such cases still if you take your steps properly the case can be won for third party cheques.

Still I gave my opinion in your favor since in one similar case accused was aquitted by the trial court, HC confirmed it. But complainant did not loose hope and went to SC and in one of rare case the SC directly convicted the issuer of cheque.
