Dear Client,
First of all Drawee should issue a mandatory legal demand notice for filing criminal case under Section : 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Whether have you received that notice. Contest the matter. Take expert legal advise by engaging expert Legal Adviser who is dealing in cases under Section : 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. While proceedings are going on you can propose compromise. But you must attend each and every adjournment.

Before you could pursue your remedies, you need to appear before the court to represent your case. once you enter your appearance you need to engage advocate to represent you. The you can negotiate for settlement out of court. Otherwise the court may issue arrest warrants against you.
