138 & 420
Hi,
I seek legal guidance in 138 & 420 case,
I am from Mumbai, My mother(sr citizen) came through one house to buy in other city where seller(sr citizen) demanded huge sum. We followed up for papers but seller said I am in some needs and we will complete the transaction at the earliers. So mother gave him a token amount. but later he refused to give papers and despite of follow up till 5months he didn’t gave us complete set of papers. So mother cancelled the deal and demanded token back. He said that he will give it but some way or other just delayed the payment. When we ask him to give cheque, he gave post dated cheque which got bounced. and since that day he is just ran off from his house. His daughter told me that she will pay in full amount but she is not responding to my calls now. and not saying anything about paying back the money. This is going on for last 4 months since the cheque bounced we sent them a notice of bounced cheque and edemanded the money but seller is not present in his house so the notice came back to me.
Can you please help me in getting money back in shortest possible time as mother is too much tensed as she put in her PF in this transaction and now she don’t have any money left with her. We have all the evidences of cheque bounce and other verbal promises seller made about returning money back in form of audio recording.
Please help

You have to file case for cheque bounce within thirty days after giving 15 days time. If within this time limit you can file 138 case.
