I Issued a cheque under coercion


20-Mar-2023 (In Criminal Law)
I issued two cheques under coercion. I was called to the police station because of a complaint made against me for the payment of 6 lacs that my late father borrowed in 2010 plus 10 lacs in cash that they had no proof for. the 6 lacs was made out in my name because i had a joint account with my father. i was 19 years old at the time. The police told me i would be arrested and that the six lacs would be made into 25 lacs with interest if i dont accept the 16 lacs and made sign two cheques plus a couple of bond papers. i was not represented and was alone when i visited the station.

hi, at the time of visiting police station, it was safe for u if you would have gone with advocate, and more over, you shouldn't have issued cheques, now i guess they will dishonour the cheque and they will file a case against you. for more information and clarification, kindly revert back thanks

the cheques issued under coercion does not have legal sancity but to prove that you have issued under coercion lodge complaint against the jurisdiction police officer to his superior and superintendent of police narrating the facts and if the same is denied and no action taken on your complaint you can file private complaint under section 200 of crpc , thereby you can escape from cheque liability that you have signed under duress
