once a cheque is bounced normally courts are issuing process but you have to appear and defend.

You can win any NI 138 case easily.

Please read from one of SC CITATION-

Lastly, we would refer to the decision by a

Three-Judge Bench of this Court in the case of Modi Cements

Ltd. Vs. Kuchil Kumar Nandi (1998) 3 S.C.C. 249 dealing

with a similar contention and interpreting Section 138 of

the Act. In that case, the Court referred to the earlier

decisions in the case of Electronics Trade and Technology

Development Corporation (1996) 2 SCC 739 and K.K.

Siddharthan Vs. T.P. Praveena Chandran (1996) 6 S.C.C.

369 and agreed that the legal proposition enunciated in the

aforesaid decisions to effect that if the cheque is

dishonoured, because of stop payment instruction to the

bank, Section 138 would get attracted..
