To give opinion it is necessary to know when those cheques were dishonoured and whether you have received Demand Notice for payment in this regard. If you wish to take my Legal opinion professionally upon online payment, then can contact.

give them a legal notice to return the cheques ás agreement was not executed stating your reasons and also mentioning that you had informed them earlier .They might however file a case undér NI Act. but the legal notice will help..

well firstly the contract is not signed and hence unenforceable in court. secondly since you provided the security cheque they have the right to deposit. rest are matter of facts and if the school has not invested any money in setting up the franchise you are not under any obligation. the security cheque is for non performance or part performance of your contract. but here there is no contract
