Regarding cheque bounced SPA and filing case in Vizag
11-Sep-2024 (In Cheque Bounce Law)
I gave loan to my wife family known friend in Vizag who gave cheques as security. As he didn't returned back the principal amt, I hired local advocate in Delhi since my bank branch is in Delhi who asked to submit cheque which bounced and sent legal notice. Now while filing case in Delhi he said SPA or my wife relative has to come physically to sign SPA and appear before the court. Is there any possibility to have SPA without physically travelling to Delhi or fight case in Vizag.
In your case, since the cheque bounced and the legal notice has already been sent, filing a case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act is the right step. While your advocate in Delhi mentioned that the Special Power of Attorney (SPA) must be signed and submitted by you or your wife’s relative in person, there are alternatives.
1. Notarized SPA: You can prepare and notarize the SPA from Vizag itself. The signed and notarized SPA can then be couriered to your advocate in Delhi, allowing them to represent you without you or the relative needing to travel to Delhi physically. This is legally acceptable and common in such cases.
2. Filing the Case in Vizag: Since the party who owes you money is located in Vizag, and the transaction relates to Vizag, you can explore the possibility of filing the cheque bounce case in Vizag as well. However, since the bank where the cheque bounced is in Delhi, filing the case there is also legally valid.
