I would advise you to engage a lawyer and present your case with full force before the Honourble Court. However even if you will be able to prove that you are entitled to credit note it will not absolve you from 138 proceedings. However as a counter you should initiate a legal action for the settlement of accounts. Further you may contact us.

The law has a presumption under Section 139 and the thus, unless contrary is proved after the bouncing of the cheque leads to prosecution under Section 138. If however, you are able to show something to the contrary and show that 6 lacs were never due from you. You will be able to get yourself free from the charge under section 138.
