Cheat tried to retrieve money for the cheques blocked
15-Sep-2023 (In Banking / Finance Law)
This case happened in 2004 whereby my brother who lives in USA ( and had an NRI bank account in India ) had sent some signed blank cheque's to my mother via courier. As the courier didn't reach so we got skeptical and approached our bank. We told the bank that anyone who tries to use the cheque's should not be allowed to retrieve any money. As the courier person approached the bank and tried to retrieve the money then he was apprehended by the bank officials and handed over to the police. We said we don't want to pursue any case since our money was safe. Now after so many years we have received summons to appear in court. Please advice me what should we do. Do we need to hire a lawyer or any do we simply go there and answer what is asked by the lawyer and judge?

Please send the copy of summon so that it can be identified which court you are seeking for.It may be you might not happened that you launched police complaint but the bank might have done for their safety to proceed against the people who had tried to create fraud.
You can approach through law ratto for further course of action.

You appear to be a complaint or a prosecution witness in the case. In either case, if you don't appear before the court, the benefit will be given to the accused. If you are a complainant in the case, your absence may even lead to acquittal of the accused. You generally don't require a lawyer to represent yourself as a complainant or as a prosecution witness. If you visit the court and adduce evidence, you may be cross examined by the defense, There is absolutely no reason for you to panic and you can decided this at your convenience.
