Cheque bounce cases are governed under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 and Advocate Anupam Kirti & Associates offers end-to-end legal services in such matters. A dishonored cheque not only causes financial loss but can also result in reputational harm. Our legal team provides timely and professional assistance in filing complaints and pursuing criminal prosecution to ensure rightful dues are recovered.
The process begins with a legal notice that must be sent to the drawer of the cheque within 30 days of receiving the cheque return memo. If the drawer fails to make the payment within 15 days of receiving the notice, a criminal complaint can be filed before the Magistrate within the stipulated legal timeframe. Our lawyers draft accurate and strong legal notices and represent clients effectively before Metropolitan Magistrate Courts to ensure justice is delivered.
We also provide defense services to clients who have been wrongfully accused under Section 138 and help them respond with appropriate legal strategies and documentation. In addition to criminal complaints, we also initiate parallel civil recovery actions wherever applicable, to ensure that our clients have the best chance of recovering their money.
With over 1500+ satisfied clients and representation in various courts across Delhi NCR and beyond, our firm has built a solid reputation for handling cheque bounce cases with diligence, urgency and result-driven strategies. We ensure that each case is handled with utmost care and that our clients receive updates and clarity at every stage of the proceedings.
