The Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 is applicable for the cases of dishonour of cheque. This Act has been amended many times since 1881.

According to Section 138 of the Act, the dishonour of cheque is a criminal offence and is punishable by imprisonment up to two years or with monetary penalty or with both.

If payee decides to proceed legally, then the drawer should be given a chance of repaying the cheque amount immediately. Such a chance has to be given only in the form of notice in writing.

The payee has to sent the notice to the drawer with 30 days from the date of receiving “Cheque Return Memo” from the bank. The notice should mention that the cheque amount has to be paid to the payee within 15 days from the date of receipt of the notice by the drawer. If the cheque issuer fails to make a fresh payment within 30 days of receiving the notice, the payee has the right to file a criminal complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act.

However, the complaint should be registered in a magistrate’s court within a month of the expiry of the notice period. It is essential in this case to consult an advocate who is well versed and experienced in this area of practice to proceed further in the matter.
Legally, certain conditions have to be fulfilled in order to use the provisions of Section 138.

The cheque should have been drawn by the drawer on an account maintained by him.

The cheque should have been returned or dishonoured because of insufficient funds in the drawer's account.

The cheque is issued towards discharge of a debt or legal liability.

After receiving the notice, if the drawer doesn't make the payment within 15 days from the day of receiving the notice, then he commits an offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act.

There was transaction of loan between you and your friend. Your friend taken the loan. You have not mentioned in your problem whether you have paid the money to your friend in cash or by cheque. If it is in cheque then a receipt for cash received must have taken by you. In case the father of your friend and company of your friend give undertaking that they are issuing the cheque for partly payment on behalf of your friend, then the father of friend or company may be held responsible otherwise not. Suggestion, please get fresh cheque or demand draft from your friend. There is no point to get the available cheques dishonour and to contest the case.
