Sir,
Thanks a lot for your advice. Another complication has developed in my case. In an effort to pay off my father's debts, i had been trying to get loans from banks. For the processing of these loans, i sent 3 blank signed cheqs to my father. At the same time, this private lender also came up with a proposal to process a loan of 6 lacs from another private lender for which i would need to sign an agreement and give a cheq. Initially i refused but later i agreed. When my father was filling up the cheq, he offered to fill it himself and my father gave it to him and in a clear cheating way, he kept the blank cheq in his pocket without filling it or without procssing the loan. Since my father owes him money, and as a common man can't go to the police against such a shark. Now he will use this cheq to pressurize me even more or to actually file a case against him. Going through the available information on this forum, i do get a feeling that my case is strong but my question is that
should i proactively file a police complaint against this person (could my father also be in trouble in that case?), or i can relax and need not worry even if he files a cheq bounce case? I am not in the same city as my father is.
Points in my favor:
Cheq has only my signatures - Dates and amounts won't be in my handwriting.
I never took any money from him. I never took any money from my father also (since i finished my studies).
I didn't give the cheq to him myself. Could it be difficult to prove? Can he claim that i gave it to him myself when i was in the city 4 months ago?
