Filing cases on a customer for defaulting on payments
I am into diesel trading business. One of my customers owes me AED 144,500. He issued me two cheques of 100,000 of each. He told us he had 10 heavy vehicles.
We supplied diesel to him for two months. He defaulted on payments and stopped answering calls. After this default, I inquired with one of his drivers and he told me none of the 10 vehicles is owned by him.
He along with his colleagues, present themselves as a transport company and defraud the diesel supplier by issuing post-dated cheques to them and selling the diesel purchased in the open market at half the price.
I have already filed a cheque bounce case against him. Apart from the cheque case, can I file a cheating case against him?
If possible, what are the documents required to file such a cheating case?

Hello,
I understand that you have already filed a criminal case against this person on the basis of bounced cheques.
Now you want to see what other remedies are available in law to protect your rights.
Please note that filing a criminal case for cheque bounce does not mean that your money will be recovered
You have to file a separate case for the recovery of monies from this person within due course of time before he pays off the penalties and tries to escape.
You may file a case for breach of contract and fraud against this person along with the civil claim for the recovery.
Please be advised that without looking into all the documents and proof of communications, I may not be able to advise you more appropriately.
Hence, please forward documents such as purchase orders, email correspondence, WhatsApp communication and if there is an agreement in place for the below-mentioned email.
Best regards,
Khubaib Naeem
