A.It will certainly raise eyebrows of the court, since he had not filled the cheque himself and handwriting will be different if you fill up his cheque. He will certainly raise this point in his defense and Magistrate will certainly make its observations and findings. Chance of your cheque bounce case u/s 138 NI Act will not make him accountable. However, other avenue needs to be ventured before coming to any conclusions. What I suggest you contact Vidhidarya for allotting a lawyer to review your partnership deed and other documents to determine what will be more fruitful for you.

If your relation with your friend is good, then you want to file a case against him. Ask him to refund your money and close the matter. If he doesn't then lodge a complaint with the local police station for criminal breach of trust and cheating. For recovery of money you can file a civil suit. Both can go parallely.

A.Yes you can. So. you present the cheque in the bank an when it gets dishonoured then file cheque bounce case. Cheque bounce case involves lot o technicality so better hire lawyer to help you out with that otherwise the case may become weaker in your favour.
