The cross examination is to be prepared by your lawyer after perusal of the complaint, documents on record and the chief. Please do not expect us to prepare questions to be asked in the cross. So if you are not a lawyer then engage a lawyer as this is the task of a trained legal mind. The mistakes committed in the trial court remain incorrigible till the apex court.

A. As per the latest Supreme Court judgement K.Subrami Vs K. Damodara Naidu (2015) 1 Supreme Court Case 99, the Complainant has to prove the Source of income from which alleged loan was mad to accused (which is mentioned in the Cheque). In this case Complainant failed to prove the source of income which amounts to illegal recoverable amount, hence, accused acquitted. This case is applicable to your case. You may ask him to produce IT return for this amount also.

B. Finally, you need to highlight your words towards 1 lakh loan with 5% interest under the 3 cheque security (cheque number should be highlight) to take defense more.

The question you asked now is a matter of trial.

The cross examination shall be done by by your advocate as per the case and the circumstances.

If you feel that your advocate is not competent enough then you may engage another advocate satisfying your requirement.

This seems to be a false case filed with an intention to pressurise you and setle down by negotiations to the extent that he is due.

You can try for negotiation and out of court setlement, if not challenge his case on merits.
