2) it is necessary to peruse allegations made in complaint filed against you to advice 

3) you can apply for and obtain bail 

4) obtain exemption from personal appearance until further orders 

you have not mentioned whether you signed the cheque or not 

2) if you have signed the cheque you woukd be made an accused 

3) quashing is to be done only in exceptional circumstances 

4) legal fees vary depending upon the lawyer engaged by you 

when a company is involved in a cheque bounce case, every officer of the company who is responsible for its business, is 'deemed' to be guilty of the offense alongwith the company

that is why you have received the summons

however there is nothing to worry

you just have to prove that you have no involvement in the offense

you would have to file an application with necessary materials to show the above

this application can be filed under the proviso to sub-section 1 of section 141 which is reproduced below:

NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS ACT, 1881 Section 141 - Offences by companies

[141. Offences by companies

(1) If the person committing an offence under section 138 is a company, every person who, at the time the offence was committed, was in charge of, and was responsible to the company for the conduct of the business of the company, as well as the company, shall be deemed to be guilty of the offence and shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly:

Provided that nothing contained in this sub-section shall render any person liable to punishment if he proves that the offence was committed without his knowledge, or that he had exercised all due diligence to prevent the commission of such offence:

Dear Client,

Reply to legal notice, that cheque dose not bear your signature neither it was issued under your direction. In cheque bounce case, bail grants on first day. no issue and than your can submit your defense in court or get it quashed through HC.

Fees differ from lawyer to lawyer.

1. If you are not a Director then there is no way you can be made party to the proceeding u/s 138 NI Act. 

2. Even if you are made party to the case you can get yourself quashed from this case.

3. So first take information whether you are summoned as one of the arrayed accused persons or not.. If not then there is nothing to worry.

4 if you are made party then also you do not have concern if you take the measures as advised above.

you are advised to approach High Court to quash proceedings against you, which seems SURE as per the fcats provided by you, 

Yes you can file quashing. Bail fees depends on lawyer to lawyer as per his standing in bar. In high court it can go from 50k to 2 lakhs

If there are sufficient reason to believe that your name has been dragged In case without any reason then you can go for  quashing the FIR under section 482 of CRPC and there are chances that you will get the FIR quashed

1. As per the information mentioned in thenpresnet query, makes it clear that your name has been dragged into the matter without having any such responsibility on you apart from just a next employee tot he company, nothing more than that.
2. Till the time no case has been filed, you can’t go for the quashing of the FIR to the extent of your involvement in the matter.
3. But, yes you should give in writing seeking answer from the company as to why your name has been dragged into it.
4. And then if any case comes then you should file a quashing petition to the extent of your name in it including the prayer for stating the proceedings in lower court till the final outcome of the quashing petition.
5. Once you get the present period heard then you would not be needed to go for the bail as all proceedings will be stayed.

And for fees and everything, you can consult me through Kaanoon, if like my answer.

Yes the same is bailable and you must take the bail.

Share the content of the complaint in order to enable us to see as to why your name has been impleaded .

Regards 

If there is any chance of quashing then fee for filing the case in HC will be 25K to 40K.

If the petition is quashed by the HC then you are not required to take bail. 

Let me know if you want my team to take care of your case in Kolkatta. 

Regards 

1. It seems that you have been summoned in a mechanical manner without proper application of judicial mind by the magistrate. 

2. If you were not directly involved in the decision making process then you could not have been summoned as an accused.

3. The remedy in your hands is to challenge the order of summoning in the Sessions Court.

4. You cannot directly approach the High Court bypassing the Sessions Court. 

Since you are just an employee of the company you cannot be held liable for this act or commission of offence.

Well, since you have been impleaded as a party to the case, it would be better that you obtain AB and then file a quash petition before high court for this reason.

The opponent company has made you as co-accused  for effective conduct of the trial of the cheque bounce case.

You cannot take any legal action against anyone instead you better try to come out net in this case by filing a quash case before high court.

It is always better to obtain bail and then go for quashing of FIR before high court.

The lawyer fee for obtaining bail will depend on the lawyer who you would engage.
