How to defend cheque bounce case with inflated cheque amount?
Sir/Madam, I am seeking legal representation for an ongoing case filed against me in Rohini Court, Delhi, in a cheque bounce matter. The cheque amount is ₹71,000, which has bounced. However, the actual business liability is only ₹34,000. The opposite party has allegedly misused the cheque by filling in an amount much higher than the actual payable amount. Additionally, goods were forcefully supplied/dumped without any proper agreement, and now an excessive payment is being demanded. I need legal assistance for: 1. Defending the case and proving that the actual liability is only ₹34,000. 2. Challenging the inflated cheque amount. 3. Handling court appearances on my behalf, as far as legally possible. 4. Exploring settlement options at a fair amount. Please also let me know: • Your consultation fees • The total estimated cost for handling the case • Whether my personal appearance in court can be minimized I am currently unable to upload documents, but I can explain the details over a call or chat. Kindly guide me on the next steps. Thank you.
This is a matter under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. If the actual liability is only ₹34,000 and the cheque was misused by filling ₹71,000, you can defend the case by producing bills, ledger, WhatsApp chats, delivery proof, and business records to prove the true liability. You should also seek cross-examination of the complainant to challenge the inflated amount. Try for a fair settlement if possible. You may also request the court to minimize your personal appearances by filing an exemption application through your lawyer. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
