How to recover 2.5 lakh given to person who is refusing to return


10-Jan-2023 (In Recovery Law)
A guy in Bangalore took 2.38 lkhs from me. He took 1 lakh in Feb 2013. For which he gave a cheque. But as he said he didnt have money at that time asked for more help and offered partnership in his dance class. He took another 1 lakh from me and asked for some monthly investment(38k) and in return and half partnership in my name. He said he will get the papers prepared. But later on I came to know he had already sold the firm and everything to someone else. He hasn't returned a penny yet. He keeps on delaying it. I have messages exchanged, audio proof and i m also capable of getting video recordings as well. Couple of things I wanted to ask. 1. Are these proofs capable of proving him guilty. 2. If I win the case will he be asked to return the money with interest. How long can the case go. 3. He is also working as a government employee. Will this case mean he will lose his job and license to do any business in life?

I will answer the questions: 1. Are these proofs capable of proving him guilty -- The quality of evidence with you and the nexus to proving the offence has to be looked into. All evidence is not acceptable in Court, there are rules of evidence that we have to follow. 2. If I win the case will he be asked to return the money with interest -- if you file a case for recovery of money, or for cheque bounce, if you able to successfully prove the guilt and win the case, you can pray for return of the entire money along with interest. This is not a hard and fast rule and will depend on the details of the case and the Advocate that you engage. How long can the case go - typically recovery cases take a minimum of 1 year. If you want to file a cheque bounce or file a criminal complaint for 'Fraud', it could take more than 1 year and up to 3 years. 3. He is also working as a government employee. Will this case mean he will lose his job and license to do any business in life? -- not all government employees are exempt from legal proceedings. However if the legal proceedings are not linked to his job, he may not be dismissed from duty but there is no way to say that with guarantee.
