HI,

YOU NEED TO GIVE A LEGAL NOTICE IN THIS REGARD TO YOUR FRIEND INFORMING HIM THAT THE CHEQUE ISSUED BY HIM TO YOU HAVE BEEN DISHONOURED AND REQUEST HIM TO PAY THE AMOUNT WITHIN 15 DAYS FROM THE RECEIPT OF NOTICE.
FURTHER IF HE DOES NOT MAKE THE PAYMENT YOU WILL HAVE TO FILE THE COMPLAINT WITH THE CONCERN COURT WITHIN 45 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF NOTICE BUT NOT BEFORE 15 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF RECEIPT OF NOTICE.

THANKS

When a cheque bounces, you have about 15 days from the date of receiving the memo from the bank to send a legal.notice. If you have not sent a legal notice, deposit the same cheque once again. If the cheque bounces again, you again have 15 days time to send a notice to your friend. Contact for more clarification

If you have good relationship, you can ask for another cheque.. or otherwise you can send the notice through advocate to deposit the amount within 15 days of receiving the notice..The notice can be send within 30 days of your knowledge through bank..
And if he doesn't deposit the amount withing 15 days of receiving the notice, you can file complaint under section 138 of NI act, within 30 days of expiring the 15 days notice period...

Dear Sir,
It is called complaint case as such you are presence is necessary on all hearing dates unless you file exemption petition through your lawyer. Ask your lawyer to furnish PF that is prescribed process fee to be deposited in the Court so that Court issues NBW against the Accused. Once accused appeared ask your advocate to file application claiming a direction to the Accused to deposit 20% of cheque amount which is mandatory.
