Stop payment of cheque

If a cheque is dishonoured because the payment has been stopped in advance by the issuer, are there any legal options available to the payee?

saravanan s (legal advisor) 31 August 2015

if the issuer of the cheque has some liability to issue the cheque towards you then you can file cheque bounce case u/s 138 nia.
