25-Feb-2023 (In Cheque Bounce Law)
I have a joint account with my Father and mother I was issued cheque of this account to my customer signed only by me cheque was disowned due to insufficient fund .Will the legal action apply on the other two account holder also or the legal can be taken only on me?
legal action U/s 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act can be taken only against you as the cheque was signed by you alone and not your mother or father. Do not worry as your mother and father are safe and she cannot be prosecuted.
