Hi,

Since the money was paid by cash you should first get a Receipt of acknowledgement from him mentioning that there is a deal while accepting a cheque , however the mention of the post dated cheque given to you should not be mentioned in the Receipt.

A cheque given as a security can not be invoked any liability under 138, whereas it has to be a cheque issued in discharge of liability. In your complaint you can make it that once the deal has broken he promise to pay money and issued the cheque for the same.

If he fails to honour the deal and pay i.e, cheque bounces you can file complaint under 138,

Make sure that he writes your name and date and amount in his handwriting this means all writings in the cheque should be in his hand writing.

Hello,

It is for your safety of proving the transaction of having paid 2 lac rupees that you must obtain a receipt of the money paid stating that you have lent the money as a friendly loan.

Recent rulings point to the fact that the cheque issued as a security will not stand ground when you have to file a cheque dishonour case under s.138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act.

Therefore do accept the check being issued to you and insist that he does not issue a blank cheque , have him to enter all details required including your name,amount,date etc. This will make your position secure in the event of a case under section 138 of N I Act.

1. when a person issue a cheque then it is presumed that he has any liability against payee.

2. dishonor of cheque is an offence it does not require from payee to prove that for which reason this liability accrued.

3. issuing of cheque means liability bear by maker of the cheque against payee and payee has right to withdraw said money.

4. if cheque becomes dishonored then bank gives you the reason of dishonor, upon receiving of that information you shall send a notice on maker of cheque to pay money within 15 days from receiving of notice.

5. if he fails to pay money then after completion of 15 days you can file a complaint before judicial magistrate of first class within 30 days form non payment in accordance of notice.

6. in complaint you should plead that you the holder of due course because you have given him a loan without interest due to affection ( by pleading this you keep yourself away from giving any evidence in order to prove land deal because earnest money should be given in proper way be executing a deed )

7. it is not necessary to execute any deed in giving loan without interest to any friend, family member etc.

take a letter saying that he took money from you for the deal and same is not materialised you can deposit the cheque for return of your money paid to him.In the event his said cheque bounces, you can file a case u/s138 of N.I. Act, or suit for recovery of money or both against him.

1. According to your own statement of facts you possess no proof of having given a sum of Rs.3 lakhs to your friend. In this view of the matter, even if the cheque issued by him bounces on presentation to the bank you will not be able to prove him liable.

2. Since you do not have any proof of the amount being given to your friend you should prevail on your friend to acknowledge through a letter of acknowledgment that he is issuing the post dated cheque towards the payment of the amount given to him by you. On the basis of this letter you can recover your money with interest from him.

3, If the cheque bounces due to shortage of funds in his bank account you can prosecute him for cheque bounce after issuing a lawyer's notice to him.
