I have an ancestral house in rajesthan. 25 years ago I had requested one local respectable person to take care of that property as I live more than 1000 kms distance. For convenience I had opened one joint bank account in local bank with myself & that local person as EOS. I used to sign the entire cheque book blank & gave to that person. Any rent recieved or amount sent by me used to be deposited in bank & that person used to withdraw required money (small amounts) using those cheque book. This arrangment continued for decade. The last signed cheque book was given sometime 20 years ago. Recently, that person developed vested interest in the property & started illegal construction without my knowledge & any permission from municipality. I got this information thru nebours & visited the spot. The information was correct & with help of local people, I appointed thru POA one another person, my next door nabour, as care taker. This made that person anguish & he misused my blank signed cheque & gave a cheque in favor of his own nephew for Rs.2.40 lac. His nephew claim to act as a contractor for that illegal construction & got the cheque dishonered. After exchange of notice from his nephew & reply from me, the nephew filed case u/s 138 NI Act in local court. It is in very preliminary stage. A need help guidance what might be the stand, pleading or chances ultimate result in this case. I shall be highly obliged of any suggersstion, guidance of references. Regard
