serious cheating to a foreigner! help required

yes, mr. agapi u can use that instrument and call that person into the court and recover your amount. Our supreme court discussed this issue in many of its judgemants and it is held that if u have the cheque itself make ur case strong. so don't worry and snd that man a legal notice to recover ur amount

Thanks a lot for your kind help to me to understand the legal position. Can you please confirm me one more thing---- What will I have to tell the court regarding the reason of getting this cheque? I have no more documents than this cheque, I have returned the agreement and right now I can ofcourse submit this cheque to my account and most probably can get the 'insufficient funds' stamp but I cannot prove that I got this cheque from the drawer towards clearing his debt or liability. Please tell me the exact scenario of law---- because I have to come to India to file and to proceed. Thank you once again.

mr. agapi, after getting the memo from the bank u send a legal notice through ur advocate and narrate the same fact into that legal notice that how u did agreement and how u returned the agreement and got the cheque in return of that.
