How to proceed in a cheque bounce case

521 votes

Sir,
You will have to send the opponent a legal notice within 30days from the date of the return memo, requesting to pay the amount within 15days from the receipt of the said notice. If your outstanding amount is not settled within that time period, you can file a criminal case against the accused within further 30 days.

No. Police report is not the way to lodge complaint. First you have to send one demand notice through a lawyer to the party for the amount due and after that ....if amount is not paid then you may proceed in accordance with law withing the stipulated period by lodging complaint before the Court.
