Regarding NI ACT, can accused file for appeal after in settlement case


19-Mar-2023 (In Cheque Bounce Law)
We filed a case of 138 of RS. 1.40 cr in 2009 and we won the case in lower court in 2015 but same time accused filed appeal in session court in 2015 , later in 2016 , we came on sattlement on RS. 70 Lacs but all the cheques issued by him got bounced in 2016. So we filed new case of RS 70 Lacs in lower court but the accused was absconded and in November 2018 , he surrendered after declaration of proclaim offender and he got bail same day. Now by month end lower court will again announce judgement in favour of me. So I want to ask to two things one is that is accused can again file for appeal in session court of high court and second thing is that will I get only judgement for Rs. 70 Lacs or any interest or any extra amount.

Hello your 1.40 cr case and 70 lakh case both are two separate case therefore after lower court decision accused has right to appeal in the court is sessions or high court. NI act has provisions for compensation up to double the cheque amount.
