SUBJECT: Legal Notice for Dishonour of Cheque
Ma’am,
Under instructions and on behalf of my client, I am here to address you as under:
1. That my client is a well-reputed and honest citizen who is the managing
partner in Goodwill Air & Sea Logistics, a leading partnership firm that
deals in logistics.
2. That in the month of May 2022, you the addressee approached my client for
availing the services of the firm to which my client duly agreed.
3. That against the services offered by my client’s firm, my client raised 2
invoices against you the addressee on 21 May, 2022 bearing numbers 2022-
23/00333 and 2022-23/GX-00174.
4. That according to the aforesaid invoices, you the addressee were liable to
pay a total amount of Rs. 6,76,060/- (Rupees six lakh seventy-six thousand
and sixty only) to my client.
5. That a partial payment of Rs. 2,00,000/- (Rupees two lakh only) was
received by my client on 15 June, 2022.
6. That thereafter my client kept requesting you to make the outstanding
payment but you kept delaying it on one context or the other.
7. That, finally, on 9 May, 2024, after multiple requests, you issued a cheque
bearing number 000000334221 for an amount of Rs. 2,00,000/- (Rupees two
lakh only) in favour of my client’s firm.
8. That the cheque in question was presented by my client to his banker
(HDFC Bank) on the same date.
9. That to my client’s shock and surprise, the said cheque had been dishonored
with the reason “PAYMENT STOPPED BY DRAWER” which was
intimated to my client through the cheque return memo dated 13 May, 2024.
10.That thereafter, inspite of many repeated reminders by my client, you failed
to make the payment due to my client.
11.That in accordance with Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act,
1881, the dishonour of a cheque constitutes a criminal offense, and the
drawer of the dishonoured cheque may be held liable for legal action.
Under the aforesaid circumstances, I have been instructed by my client to demand
that you make immediate arrangements to pay the entire outstanding amount of Rs.
2,00,000/- (Rupees two lakh only) within 15 days from the date of this notice.
Failure to comply with this demand within the specified period will leave my client
with no option but to initiate legal proceedings against you, which may include
filing a criminal complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act,
1881.
Please note that this notice is issued with the genuine intention of resolving this
matter without resorting to legal actions, and I strongly urge you to take this matter
seriously and act promptly.
A copy of this legal notice is retained in my office for record and further reference.
Yours Faithfully,
