Fake cheque bounce case imposed by ex employee, what to do
05-Jul-2023 (In Cheque Bounce Law)
Hi during 4 - 5 months back from my office drawer some of the documents and cheques signed has been stolen by some of the employees and after then we have fired them from the company but seeing the company reputation and their career we have not lodged any case against them. but today I have received one demand notice from the layer stating from an exemployee stating the cheque has been bounced and I need to pay him 7.96 lakh which is not true. I have already informed him over the email and his lawyer that I have not issued any cheque to nay one and this is the cheque from the stolen account and will not be honoured. Please let me know what legal action I can take against them in this incident ?
You should have lodged a police complaint for missing check leaves . Anyway, what they say about the amount of over seven lakhs being due from you to an employee? Does he have any other documents to corraborate ?

You have to respond to the notice within 15 days of the receipt of the same to you. You can state that the cheques were stolen and there is no legally payable debt of ₹7.96 Lakhs, You also have to issue stop payment request to the bank and would be advised to file a police complaint against the former employee.
