Blank dated but signed non-CTS cheque with a/c payee
Experts,
I've 'X' blank dated non-CTS IDBI cheques for 'Y' Lakh amounts each, are duly signed and filled-up except the DATES.
Person 'A' who issued this cheques to Person 'B' few years back in exchange of some money transfers from account of 'B' to 'A'.
Now since 'A' denied to pay back the money, 'B' has registered fraud complaint and in turn FIR and put 'A' behind bars where in FIR has NOT mentioned any blank dated cheques which were given by 'A' to 'B'.
Now 'A' is out on bail by Supreme Court and is under trial in lower court.
Query-
1] Can 'B' put Dates (different ink and handwriting) on these blank non-CTS cheques and put them in Bank, and once it gets bounce, can send notice and invoke Section 139 NIA?
2] Lawyer can make a script like these cheques were given by 'A' to 'B' as a settlement for the on-going trial after he got out on bail or You can suggest some better script to make-out a case for Non bailable warrant against 'A' under NIA Sec 139?
3] Please suggest any risk to 'B' in future if he do this act For e.g: Any kind of fraud, cheating case against him if he unable to justify the possession of cheques and dates put by him on the blank cheques and of any other wrong doing to put 'A' behind bars again?
4] Please remember there is already trial on-going on 'A', where 'B' has already witnessed and all statements recorded infront of judge and cross-questioned as well, post this new case (Sec-139) on 'A' from 'B' can hamper or affect the ongoing case? Also it's 'B's mother who is prime-victim and lodged FIR on 'A' fo r which he is under-trial.
5] Since we don't know any property owned by 'A' are unable to put Civil Suit. How we can use this blank dated cheques efficiently to cause pain to 'A' like we had suffered in past, if we have any recovery mechanism available when property/possession of 'A' is not known?
6] Can lawyer of 'A' send these cheques for Forensic and any harm it's outcome can cause to 'B' or can weaken the on-going trial against 'A' party?
Many thanks in advance as always!!!
