Cheque bounce cases.

Dishonoured cheque? Timing is everything. Prompt, focused action under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act to protect your right to recover.

Act quickly — the clock is running

When a cheque is dishonoured, the law sets strict deadlines. A statutory demand notice must generally be sent within 30 days of the bank’s return memo, and a complaint filed within the prescribed period after that. Miss the window and the remedy can be lost — which is why prompt advice matters.

Representation is available both for payees seeking to recover their money and for drawers defending a complaint on legitimate grounds.

What this covers

  • Drafting and issuing the statutory demand notice
  • Filing and prosecuting the Section 138 complaint
  • Defending drawers against wrongful or defective complaints
  • Interim compensation and recovery applications
  • Settlement and compounding where sensible

A practical eye on recovery

Beyond winning the case, the focus is on actually recovering the amount — through settlement where that is faster, or judgment and enforcement where it is not.
