Cheque Dishonour in Prayagraj — Legal Remedies Under Section 138 NI Act
Under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, dishonour of a cheque is a criminal offence attracting imprisonment of up to two years, a fine of up to twice the cheque amount, or both. The law requires that strict procedural steps be followed within specified time limits.
The process begins with a legal notice that must be served within thirty days of receiving the bank's return memo. If the cheque issuer does not make payment within fifteen days of receiving the notice, a complaint can be filed before the competent Magistrate.
Advocate Faizan Siddiqui assists with the complete process — preparation of the legal notice, filing the complaint, and representation through the trial. For those who have received a cheque bounce complaint and wish to challenge it, he also assists with defense.
Section 138 Proceedings — Prosecution Strategy
For the complainant, a Section 138 case is a statutory legal remedy available under Section 138 NI Act. The Section 138 proceedings may lead parties to explore settlement where appropriate. The goal is to have the accused make payment and reach a settlement, avoiding a prolonged trial.
Advocate Faizan Siddiqui prepares the legal notice carefully and files the complaint with the necessary evidence — the original cheque, bank return memo, proof of legal notice, proof of dispatch, and documentation establishing the underlying legally enforceable debt. In cases that proceed to trial, the evidentiary record is built from the outset.
For accused persons who dispute the claim — on grounds such as absence of a legally enforceable debt, the cheque having been issued as security, or procedural defects in the complaint — a defense is prepared based on the specific facts.

What is anticipatory bail and when should I apply in Prayagraj?
Anticipatory bail under Section 438 CrPC is pre-arrest bail — it protects you from being taken into custody if arrested for a specific offence. Apply as soon as you have any reason to believe you may be arrested — even before an FIR is filed. The earlier you apply, the broader the protection granted by Allahabad High Court. Once granted, if you are arrested you are released immediately on bail — no time spent in custody.

How to get FIR quashed at Allahabad High Court under Section 482 CrPC?
FIR quashing under Section 482 CrPC at Allahabad High Court is available when: (1) The FIR does not disclose a cognizable offence even if all allegations are taken as true, (2) The allegations are inherently improbable or absurd on their face, (3) The FIR is filed with a clear ulterior motive — such as a property or matrimonial dispute dressed up as a criminal case, or (4) The dispute is purely civil in nature. Advocate Faizan Siddiqui files FIR quashing petitions at Allahabad High Court — including 498A dowry cases, cheating cases, criminal intimidation, and property disputes. We simultaneously obtain a stay on arrest to protect you while the petition is pending. Call +91-9911387328 immediately.
How long does mutual consent divorce take in Prayagraj Allahabad?
Mutual consent divorce under Section 13B Hindu Marriage Act typically takes 6 to 18 months at Prayagraj Family Court. The process: (1) Joint divorce petition signed by both spouses, (2) Mandatory 6-month cooling period — which courts can waive if the marriage has irretrievably broken down and the parties have been living separately for 2008 months, (3) Second motion hearing where both parties confirm consent. Advocate Faizan Siddiqui drafts the complete joint petition, settlement agreement on property and maintenance, child custody arrangement, and manages all court appearances. His experience with Prayagraj Family Court ensures the process runs without unnecessary delays. Call +91-9911387328 for a confidential consultation.
