Hi,
I have a cheque issued to me for monthly rental of property and signed by one of the privated limited company's director . The cheque has bounced because the authorised signatory has changed according to the bank.
Would it be a crimal case. Please let me know.

Just follow the procedure for filing complaint under 138 NIA.Consult alwyer immedeately
Inconsistent signature on cheques could land you in jail. ... The Supreme Court has ruled that in case of cheque bounce, a mismatch of signatures will be treated on par with insufficiency of funds, "payment stopped" and "closure of account", which are offences under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.

What is precisely the jurisdiction of courts in dealing with NI 138 cases as of now . The Court which has jurisdiction over the Bank branch from where the bounced cheque was issued [ Delhi 110037 ] , or the Bank branch which returned the cheque [ New Delhi ] , or the Bank branch where the cheque was deposited [ Noida ]
