Dear Lawyers,
Here is a case of misuse of blank cheaques and misuse of trust.
I had borrowed money from (ABC) financier a sum of Rs 7.50 lakhs and my friend (xyz) stood as guarantor, I had issued blank cheques, promissory notes and signed blank papers to (ABC) however after a series of episodes and misunderstanding on not paying interest of 7% xyz forcibly took blank cheques of myself and my wife. However with faith of closing the account we did not complain the matter to police. Now xyz has bounced a cheaque for Rs 10 lakhs in my name and Rs 15 lakhs in my wife name. He claims I have to pay him Rs 25 lakhs. ABC is silent about the whole issue. Now I would like to put these facts in front of the courts and prove that I had issued blank cheques and is being misused under sec 138. I do not have any proof of the documents I executed with ABC or xyz except for xerox copies of Blank stamp papers and promissory notes I had executed with ABC.
I beleive misusing blank cheaques is punishable offence if so how?. Is it possible to proscecute xyz for trying to cheat me by misusing the cheaques by filling an amount (in his own handwriting) which has no relevance to his source of Income as an ordinary typist. Under which IPC section can I suggest my lawyer to procede criminal charges.
Please suggest
