Hi,

There’s any aspect to this query. Was the amount given as a friendly loan or it was it given from a business account. Is there any agreement to that effect? Cash the loan given in cash?

Need answers to these questions and more.

To institute a suit against the person the cheque must be dishonoured first. There’s no limit as such.

Contact me for further discussion.

there is no such provision which bars the amount of money in a cheque before it can be filed in court. bouncing of cheque is considered to be a criminal offence and hence, no pecuniary jurisdiction can be assigned to it
