CASE 2 - CRIMINAL
Mr. Raman and Mr. Sravan are employees of same company working in
administrative section. Since both of them are of same age and also working
together, they became very close. Mr. Sravan is very conservative in his money
spending and saved his money in a traditional way, While Mr. Raman is a stock
market player and he always wanted to make a quick buck out of speculation. Mr.
Sravan used to warn Mr. Raman and say that playing with stock markets as a
speculator is very risky and if things do not turn in our favour, there is always a
danger of unrecoverable huge loss. Mr. Raman did not take his words very seriously
and because of luck in his favour, he made a huge profit in share transactions. Over
a period of time, Mr. Raman even started to deal with Future and Options in
derivative market and in the process he started borrowing money from Mr. Sravan
but used to promptly return the amounts. One day Mr. Raman went to Mr. Sravan
and requested him to lend Rupees Five Lakhs which he will be returning it back in a
week time. Mr. Sravan organised money to his friend.
Even after a month time, Mr. Raman did not return the money back and Mr. Sravan
asked him to pay the money back as he needs it to meet his own personal needs.
Mr. Raman asked him a week time to return back the amount to which Mr. Sravan
agreed reluctantly. Ten days passed and there was no response from Mr. Raman. On
the eleventh day after the Office Hours in the evening, Mr. Sravan met him and
insisted immediate repayment of money for which Mr. Raman gave a Cheque and
asked Mr. Sravan to deposit after a week time. Mr. Sravan followed his instructions
and deposited the cheque after a week time in Union Bank, where he is maintaining
account. The cheque has returned dishonoured due to insufficiency of funds.
Immediately Mr. Sravan called up Mr. Raman and intimated him the same. Mr.
Raman requested Mr. Sravan to represent it the next day and Mr. Sravan did the
same but again the cheque got bounced due to lack of funds. Mr. Sravan has
approached you for relief, suggest appropriate solution and guide him in legal
proceedings.
