Wanted to check a scenario, in a case regarding cheque bounce , court has asked us to pay the amount plus a 20% fine on the amount which is owed.
Now we have decided for an out of court settlement by filing for an appeal, now the party has got the amount as part of out of court settlement, but court is asking us to that 20% of principal amount to court.
Is it something which court can ask for?
we have already paid an amount which court has asked to pay as part of fine in the judgement.
Please take a letter from complainant duly stating that he/she waived the payment of 20% amount and submit the same to the Court. Also file a joint petition regarding settlement and withdrawal ofthe case.
