Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a cheque bounce lawyer in Bhubaneswar?
A cheque bounce lawyer in Bhubaneswar is an advocate who handles Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act complaints before the Khordha District & Sessions Court — sending demand notices and filing complaints for the payee, or defending the person accused of issuing the dishonoured cheque.
Which court hears cheque bounce cases in Bhubaneswar?
Cheque bounce complaints from Bhubaneswar are generally filed before the Judicial Magistrate at the District & Sessions Court, Khordha, since Bhubaneswar falls within Khordha district for judicial purposes.
My business received several bounced cheques from a client — can one lawyer handle multiple complaints?
Yes. Each dishonoured cheque is treated as a separate cause of action requiring its own demand notice and, if unresolved, its own complaint, but a single advocate can handle multiple related Section 138 complaints against the same drawer together for consistency and cost efficiency.
I am accused in a cheque bounce case in Bhubaneswar — what defences are available?
Common defences include disputing that the notice was validly served, showing the cheque was issued for a purpose other than a legally enforceable debt, or that payment was in fact made. Each case turns on its specific facts and evidence, and outcomes cannot be predicted or guaranteed at the outset.
