What Is a Legal Notice? - An Overview

A legal notice is an intimation sent by one person to another informing them that they intend to initiate legal proceedings against the other person. A lawyer notice is normally sent when an act or inability to do an act has damaged the person. For example, a lawyer notice is sent when a contract has been breached, when a tenant is not paying the agreed rent, when a right has been infringed, etc. It is a formal communication between two entities that makes the sender eligible to initiate legal proceedings. It has a certain legal notice format to follow. It is generally drafted under the legal notice format provisions of the Civil Procedure Code and can only be issued in civil cases. Sending a legal notice has many benefits, as it can lead to several outcomes without litigation involvement.

FAQs on If You've Been the Victim of a Bounced Cheque, You Need Cadeskindia!

If the drawer has not made the payment, how long should I wait before filing a complaint with the court?

In most cases, you should wait 15 days before filing a complaint with the court. Make sure to send all of the necessary documents, as stated previously.

Is it possible to file a complaint if the drawer gave me a bounced check as a gift?

You cannot bring charges against the drawer if the bounced check was presented to you as a gift or was lent to you for the repayment of a loan installment.

Do I need to submit documents along with my complaint letter to the court?

Yes, you need to submit documents along with the complaint letter to the court. Documents such as the Cheque Return Memo, the original bounced cheque, a copy of the notice sent along with the acknowledgement receipts, and an affidavit stating evidences need to be sent to the court in original format.

What if I don’t file a complaint within the stipulated 30 days of the notice sent?

If you don’t file a complaint within the stipulated 30 days, the case will lapse. However, in certain circumstances, the court may grant you an extension.

Can I file a case for a bounced cheque that was caused due to stop payment instructions?

Yes, you can. A cheque dishonoured under the stop payment instruction is covered under the Section 138 of the NI Act. So, you have every right to press charges. This can be done only after you have sent a Demand Notice to the drawer.
