I will be representing and will plead on behalf of a Bank tomorrow in a Civil Court. The plaintiff has filed a defamation suit against the Bank for dishonouring a cheque issued by him which caused a notice u/s 138 NI Act to be served upon him and which allegedly caused his defamation. Any statutes/judgements which might be helpful in getting the Bank out of this mess ?
Thank You.
Hi Sir! Thanks for the question! You are required to furnish the exact reason/grounds on which the bank dishonored the cheque. Did the customer have sufficient funds and despite that, the cheque got dishonored due to negligence on the part of the bank? If so, the defense is very difficult.
However, it further depends upon the content of the notice issued by the lawyer of the customer to the bank. Your drafting is obviously equally important. If you may help me with the exact grounds, it would enable me to help you with some authority if I can find one according to the contents of the information.
Good Luck!
