Friendly loan Cheque bounce

Dear Friends,

Is sec-138 applicable in friendly loan case? where in the concerned person has given cheque to repay a friendly loan which has bounced?

The concerned person has given a note on stamp paper (which is not notarized) stating he has taken friendly loan of x amount from the complainant .


Can the complaint be maintained in the court.?

 

Thanks

Amrut

It is not a gift but a loan though friendly loan as you call it, but loan is loan and now it is up to you either to make a friendly complaint or a complaint as per the NIA.

                               A loan is a term used for exchange of money,with a consideration that it will be repaid within a stipulated period of time. Generally some kind of security is obtained when money is given.In this case a cheque is given as a source of security.Once the cheque is bounced due to various reasons anyone can proceed u/s138 of NI Act.

Cheque bouncing is a crime, whether friendly loan or not.  You have to file the

complaint as per the provisions of Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act.

There is a procedure.  Please follow it to the T.

I want to reiterate thousand times that judgements in u/s 138 are not always right. The basic principle is that when a person issues the cheque, he does so not for fun. Issuing cheques is a serious monetary binding and the court rightly presumes some purpose/intention behind issue of the cheque and based on that the person who has not adhered to the time limit of repayment deserves conviction.

I would like to emphasise that the judges have also the duty to find out the truth from the petition. It would be not legal and just if the judgement is passed by any judge without going into the facts and circumstances of the case. And hence your argument that litigants lose cases because of faulty petition hardly holds any water. Please stop the blame game to get cheap popularity.

I have a query which is unanswered, if a financial Institution has given Power of Attorney to an individual who is not an employee of the company for filing complaint u/s 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act .The

1.Can Financial Institution give POA to any person who is not an employee of that Company to file Complaint?

2. Is there any judgment which clearly states that it is not necessary for POA holder to be an employee of the Company.It can be any person approved by the Board of Director for file Complaint?

You can file a criminal complaint under section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act.   It is immaterial whether the loan is a friendly loan or otherwise.  It is also immaterial whether the note given to you on stamp paper is notorised or not.   

Section 118 of N.I. Act  also helps you which contains certain legal presumptions in favour of the holder.  One of the presumption under section 118 is that the drawer issued the cheque with regard to his liability.
