Cheque bounce

1.  Cheque Bounce Case can be filed against the Govt. Dept., jointly with the executive signatory.  There are no exemptions to Govt. Depts.  It will be court's discretion to decide whether the "accident compensation cheque" falls under the criteria of "liability" as required u/s 138 of N.I.Act.

2.  HOWEVER court may insist upon prosecution permission from the Head of Dept.

Yes sir, The holder of the cheque can file a case against the Govt., because it is presumed that the cheque is issued as a part of legally enforceable debt. However, it is pertinent to note at this juncture that a cheque is valid only for 3 months. Hence if the cheque is presented within its validity tme, and got dishonoured for any reason, for instance.. "Insufficiency of funds etc", the holder need to immediately [within 3o days, from date of the cheque dishonour memo] do serve a demand legal notice to the Govt, asking to repay the cheque amount within clear 15 days from date of receipt of legal notice, failing which you can file a cheque dishonour case.

Note: If the cheque dishonour notice is not given within 30 days from date of cheque dishonour memo, a cheque dshonour case is not maintable in court of law.
