Advocate

Dear Ramachary Garu, its a well drafted
notice but the mandatory period of demand is 15 days not 10 days as
mentioned in your draft notice and moreover it must be mentioned that
in the event of failure in repayment action under sections 138 and 142
of NI act will be initiated. One thing to be remembered that NI act is
to punish the accused for issuance of cheque without having sufficient
balance in the account to honour the same but not for recovery of the
amounts. Regards

Good effort in helping out a collegue with draft.

Please see that you make changes in the facts enumerated after consulting your client.

Also end up giving a 15 days notice and adding up this.... inspite of this notice if you fail to repay the cheque amount my client will be left with no other alternative but to file a case against you both under section 138 of N.I. Act  and a civil suit for recovery of money in an appropriate court of law.

thanks for your kind advice sir.
