There is no need to worry if the the said person is avoiding the summons , you just wait for the date of hearing of 138 case, and mention the same facts in Recovery case also if he attends the proceedings there, court either will issue fresh notice or it may ask for the publication also.

Dear Sir, it appears you are seeking additional advice on the issue of filing a criminal case invoking section 420 IPC.
My answer is simply NO. It would be better if you pursue your other two cases regularly and request lawyer to seek shorter dates in the Court Concerned. Thank you.

From the given facts, I understand that in recovery suit defendant has been served but he is not filing the reply. In summary suit defendant has to file leave to defend within 10 days. In case he fails, the Judge will issue summon for judgement. Your advocate will advise you in this regard. In 138 case, the accused will come and submit bail. In case, the accused is interested to settle the matter, take it to mediation and settle the whole case. Otherwise, contest 138 case for Rs.2.00 lakh and summary suit for recovery of Rs.4.03 lakh, you will get decree from trial court. Why don't you ask your lawyer.

Hello,

The objective to file a Summary suit is to speed up the process for recovering of liquidated damages. It is safe to say that rather than an FIR under section 420 IPC, a representation shall be sent to the ACP to inform him about the same. Meanwhile, please consult a Summary Suit specialist (such as myself) to speed up the court proceedings.

Thank you.
