I am not party of cheque

dear yogesh,

dnt worry you are safe

no one can sue any person without any cause and for others action.

it is not possible for parties to sue you under 138 for your sons negligence,

as per my instinct i think they had made you performa party to recover the money of cheque issued by your son from yours sons share in your property

to avoid it file a declaratory suit and bycott your son from all your movable or immovable assetts so that court will not attch his share in property for the recovery of the money in consideration.

feel free to call

Thanks Anish,

 But here i have to clear you one thing that they make me only party and leve my son openly. I mean to say that they file a case only against me.

please help

-- S.138 case is maintainable against you only if the cheque issued by you from your account, gets dishonored.

-- Since you state that the case is already filed only against you, then you will (or already) receive the summon from the court, appear on the first date and tell the court that you have nothing to do with the firm, as the cheque is neither signed by you, nor the account is in your name. Take the Bank letter with you and your signature proof, you do not have to blabber about your son account or proprietor firm etc. You can even ask for huge cost on account of harassment.

-- This is the criminal proceeding and under this act  there is no question of any attachment or recovery.

-- Just relax, and do the needful only on the date, meanwhile if possible attach the notice/complaint copy, if it is possible.

As a father you should advise your son to pay off, honestly, if there are any genuine dues.

hello,

suit against you wont b maintainable.no need to be worry.you can argue for the dismissal of the complaint and it will be

Please read the complaint filed in the court to initiate the case, somewhere both of you may have been related.

Better option is file revision against the process issued by the lower court since no dismissal possible in same court in cheque cases.

Dear Yogesh,

The case itself is not maintainable as against you. The complainant having filed the complaint as against you will be dismissed by the court on you preferirng application. There are judgments to that effect which specifically say that the person who is not a drawer and in no way concerned to the issuance of cheque and party to the transaction whereby the legal liability ciould be fastened on such person shown to be as accused, the complaint itself is bad in law.

Further more, the complainant (drawee) to whom your son issued the cheque having not made him party to the proceedings, said similar proceedings could not be initiated again. 

will some one please send me any Judgemet regarding my case................ please it will very help ful for me.

Thanks

Yogesh

1. Cheque is not signed by you.

2. Cheque is not from your account.

I am reproducing the S.138 for your benefit.. Read the highlighted portion..

Where any cheque drawn by a person on an account maintained by him with a banker for payment of any amount of money to another person from out of that account for the discharge, in whole or in part, of any debt or other liability, is returned by the bank unpaid, either because of the amount of money standing to the credit of that account is insufficient to honour the cheque or that it exceeds the amount arranged to be paid from that account by an agreement made with that bank, such person shall be deemed to have committed an offence and shall without prejudice to any other provisions of this Act, be punished with imprisonment for ²["a term which may extend to two year"], or with fine which may extend to twice the amount of the cheque, or with both:

Now what kind of judgement you require when the act itself says that it should be drawn by you from your account. You have not signed the cheque neither the cheque is of your account... So where is the problem.  

The court on the first day takes the bail bond of the accused and frames the charges, but when the section itself is not applicable then neither you are required to give the bail bond nor any charges shall be framed against you. As a precaution you should carry following documents..

1. Your signature proof from your existing Bank Account.

2. A letter from the bounced cheque Bank that account is not yours and it is maitained by someone else.

Either court will dismiss the complaint or ask the complaint to provide more details before proceeding ahead.

CAN YOU ATTACH THE PHOTO COPY OF THE CHEQUE WITH COPY OF COMPLAINT ???

Please send me any judgement copy or link regarding my case

Sir,

Certainly you cannot be prosecuted under section 138 N.I.Act. It is better you file a quash before the high court you have a fair chance to succeed. The drawer of the cheque who has a legal liability towards the payee alone can be prosecuted.I f you are a guarantor and if you have issued a cheque as a security you can be prosecuted otherwise not.

Yogesh,

The link or citation will be useful for you once the case proceeding starts and your turn for the defense comes up.

Liberty is your fundamental right and you cannot be made accused against the statue. I have already reproduced the act part for you. Which Judge will frame charges against you when the cheque itself is not yours ?? Sometimes at the time of assessing the complaint it becomes difficult for the judge to identify the name, so an incorrect summon as suggested by complainant may come, but charges cannot be framed againt you.

On the other hand looking at your reluctance to post the cheque copy and complaint copy and also your fear, it gives me an impression that you are hiding something. May be you have signed in your hand the cheque of your son's prop firm. Be careful in that case complainant may file case under S.420 also, which is worse than case under S.138.

Hello Mr. Trivedi,

           I really appericiate yours suggestions But i promissing you again that any word told by me is very right Now i tell u full story,

This cheque was given by my son, and they make me party and case starts in 2010 and still at evidence Stage. my lawyer i think not taking this case seriously because he must be place all facts against court at first heairing but then he suggest me for bail then every time lingering on the process and after efforts he place a rivision file in upper court than upper court reject it on the basis that case runs in lower court so it is out of our juridiction. And now it is at evidence stage and next heairing is on 26 July. So i am in a hurry

Soplease help me.

Thanks
