Hello,

Send a reply to the Legal Notice through an Advocate on the ground that the cheque in issue has not been issued against any legally enforceable debt and thereafter file a case under section 420 if he does not withdraw the legal notice.

You should deposit his cheque’s and issue him legal notice

2) as far as legal notice issued by person is concerned you should reply to legal notice deny that there is debt due and payable

Firstly, after ascertaining the time limits, reply (hire a lawyer) legally to the Notice saying that the cheques (mention the number) were issued as a security and during the tenure of your partnership venture.

Attack is the best defence. You too use his cheques and send a legal notice once it bounces. Doing this will atleast give you leverage during negotiation.

BTW if the name is not written on the cheques issued by him, then don't issue it in your name. Use any of your family or relatives name. By doing this the two cases will be different.

First of all you have to report to the police regarding the cheating under section 419 and 420 farmers using your checks you have to inform to the bank as well and stop all the cheques payment you have to appear before the court and file your affidavit regarding this that you have no obligation to pay him as you have not taken any money from him and this is a cheating case and you need to file l a case in Criminal Court under Section 419 and 420 against the person and inform the court regarding this to be heard.

You can get his cheque dishonored and file criminal case against him under section 138 NI act. Secondly request your bank to stop payment to the cheque and report to police that you have cheque misplaced which he has not yet sent notice. Lastly reply to the notices which he has sent you now

Sir reply the said notice denying allegations and further get his cheque bounce and give him a further notice he shall compromise for same.

Since there was no contract of Guarantee, you cannot be made liable to pay the amount. You have to defend the matter in the court after taking bail and leading the evidence. Since there is no liability, the only option you are left with in the given circumstances is to defend the matter.

Hi, it is advisable to send him a reply to the legal notice that he has issued to establish a defence ... You can also utilise his cheque if he do not intend to negotiate and proceed further by filing false complaint

You need to send him a replying, clarifying that you do not owe any debt to him and the fact regarding misuse of cheques which he is indulging into.

This reply must be sent through a lawyer.

Dear Client,

No problem to u u must face and do the case definitely u will win because sec 118a negotiable instruments act 1881 the burden of proof is lie on the complainent if he is not proved that the debt is not there between u and him. Then u will be acquitted from this case
