Is it a legal notice when it is sent from the petitioner in N.I. Act. 138 case.
The fact is Mr. X done some income tax work from Mr. Y (Mr. Y is a Tax Practitioner and an Advocate of High Court of Calcutta, and Mr. Y residing & practicing in Pune and Mumbai incidnet happened at Pune. both are resident of Pune.
Mr. X issued a cheque to Mr.Y for professional fees, Mr. X is an illiterate person hence Mr. Y has filled up the cheque and X signed it. It was a singed bearer cheque but Mr. Y deposited the cheque and the cheque gets bounced for with insufficient fund.
And now Mr. X received a legal notice from Mr. Y to pay the amount within fifteen days else Mr. Y may go for a case against Mr. X N.I. Act 138.
My question is, can Mr. Y himself issue legal notice to Mr. X when Mr. Y is the petitioner.
Or the notice should be sent from a Practicing advocate.
Will this notice be treat as a legal notice by Mr. X or not?
Thank in Advance
Rohit
