As long as the cheque is issued in discharge of a legally enforceable debt, the reason for bouncing of cheque is immaterial. Make sure that a statutory notice is issued in writing within 30 of cheque bounce demanding the cheque amount. and thereafter if you do not receive the money from the issuer, you can file a complaint before a competent Court for offence under section 138 of Negotiable Instruments act.
