What Is The Procedure To File A Cheque Bounce Case?

In case of nonrecovery of the due amount during the long battle of legal dispute, one can separately file a civil suit for recovery which would cover the costs borne by the petitioner during the legal battle. This is where a summary suit under Order 37 of the CPC comes in. A summary suit is different from an ordinary suit as it does not give the accused the right to defend himself. Instead, the defendant has to procure permission from the court to do so. Summary suits can be availed of only in recovery matters, be it promissory notes, bills of exchange or cheques. According to the Ordinance passed by the Govt. of India in June 2015, where the person has presented the cheque i.e. where the Complainant has the Account, the complainant can file the case in that city.
