NowHide CHEQUE ISSUED DURING MUTUAL DIVORCE CASE GOT BOUNCED


30-Mar-2023 (In Cheque Bounce Law)
 I received a cheque during a mutual divorce settlement in the 2nd motion. When I present it in the bank it got bounce. Meanwhile decree of judgement is being released. Following the legal process I send a notice through lawyer to the party asking for the payment to be cleared in 15 days. When I did not hear anything from the opposite party I filed a criminal case under 138 NI Act in the local court of my area. How long it might take to get my money back? Is there any other way to recover the money fast from the party?

In fact the payment of amount received in second motion was prerequisite and essential for mutual divorce
when the cheque was bound the you have a right to file a criminal case against him to deceive the court for obtaining mutual divorce decree.
However you can challange the decree of divorce also on the ground of non compliance of essential conditions.
Though you have already filed a compliant case under Section 138 of N.I. Act hence you are also advised to obtain an expedite order from High Court so that the proceedings of N.I Act case may not linger.
