you are required to send a legal notice before filing a complaint in the court . unless you send a legal notice to the party who has issued cheque , no court will take cognizance . This is the mandatory requirement of section 138 negotiable instrument act .

you can not file case regarding the dishonor of cheque directly because without giving 15 days notice of payment no offence under section 138 Negotiable instruments act made out. So according to the Provisions of the Negotiable instruments act you have to give a notice of payment after receiving intimation of cheque bounce. After completion of period of 15 days from the date of receipt of the notice if the person who issued the cheque failed to make payment then you can file a petition under section 138 Negotiable instruments act. if you want any more information or any other clerification you can contact me through the administrator of this website
