cheque bounce cheque bounce

A cheque bounce case was filed against a company where I worked for few days as project incharge. The opponent filed the cheque bounce to get pending loan , though cheque was given for different purpose to the opponent . After recieving the summon the the company asked me to give in written that the amount will be paid on next date as I was the second respondent. I gave in writing to the CJM. But on next date our proceedings moved on to further stage and on that date opponent filed for 20% interim compensation of the cheque amount , instead of claiming full amount of my writings. Its been almost one year , the company is not appearing, though am appearing in every date. Will my written document consenting to pay , one year ago will be against me . As the first respondent is not appearing .

A.Dear Client,
Negotiate with the opponent: You can try to negotiate with the opponent to reach a settlement. If you can come to an agreement, you can avoid going to court and resolve the matter amicably.

File an application for impleadment: If the company is not appearing in court, you can file an application for impleadment to bring the company back into the case. This will ensure that the company is held responsible for its actions.

Contest the interim compensation: If the opponent has filed for interim compensation, you can contest the claim in court. You can argue that the claim is not valid or that the amount claimed is excessive.

It is important to note that a written document consenting to pay the amount owed in the cheque bounce case can be used as evidence against you in court

A.Dear Sir,
Since the opponent has not taken any action on your written submission and further developments goes to show that the case has to run in a regular way. In future you must say that you are not ready to pay entire amount at a time.
