Hello everybody
Please guide me through following situation. I am for the complainant side.
1) Complainant filed a case u/s 138 NI Act after complying every requirements. Case is now pending for cross examination of complainant's witnesses.
2) During pendency of the case, the complainant, out of the Court, accepted part payment of the cheque dishonoured amount, from the accused and issued a money reciept thereof by referring the case. The accused has not paid the balance amount yet.
Now my question is whether the acceptance of part payment of the said dishonoured amount and issueing the money reciept (by referring the pending case) will affect the merit of the case. Kindly enlighten me with suitable precedents, if any.
