Good evening experts,

I have one query. A supplied goods to B and raised an invoice of Rs 1,80000/-.B gave a cheque of Rs 100000/-.Cheque bounced.B didn't file 138 case..Almost one year has passed. Now whether A can file simple recovery suit or he can file summary suit U/o 37 Rule 1 &2.

Thanxs

Yes he can  ... before that he can issue a letter & legal notice regarding the non payment of dues ..

yes, he can do that . it would however be preferable if he sends a legal notice first to B

Dear Friend,

 

You must first issue demand notice. Thereafter, you have to file summary suit for recovery.

Yes recovery suit is maintenable- But you have to pay stamp fee % of total amount whereas in 138 N.I. Act it was nominal.

Now you have only one option that is" Recovery Suit " as limitation to file  cheque boncing case has been expired..
