العواقب المتوقعة لرفع قضية جنائية بسبب شيكات بدون رصيد

ماذا سيحدث إذا تم رفع قضية جنائية بسبب تقديم شيكات مرتجعة بقيمة 506,000.00 درهم، في حين أنه تم دفع مبلغ 485,000.00 درهم ولم يتبقى سوى 21000 درهم؟

هل يمكن تطبيق عقوبة السجن أو فرض غرامات؟ إذا كان الأمر كذلك، كم ستكون قيمة الغرامة؟

Hi there,

You have not mentioned the emirate where this cheque bounce case has been filed/expected to be filed? The judgment may vary in different jurisdictions.

Also, here the situation is different as partial payment has been done, so the evidence can be produced in the court for a waiver of punishment (jail/fine) which will be decided by the court.

Let me know if you need further assistance or advice.

Thanks,

Sudhanshu Singh

Hello Sir,

The charges on cheque bounce are not the same in the UAE and Dubai.

In Dubai, as per the new law of 2017, cheque bounce cases will no longer be dealt at the criminal court.

It will be resolved with the fines itself i.e. no jail term for the issuer of a dishonoured cheque which is definitely a sigh of relief for cheque payers.

This new law is applicable only in Dubai. While the rest of the UAE will abide by the traditional law i.e. detention and fine payment.

First, I think you have not mentioned the emirate where this criminal case for the bounced cheques has been filed. Sometimes, the decision varies due to jurisdiction.

And for your case, the partial payment has been done. So the papers and all documents can be produced in the court and the court will decide accordingly.

Please revert to us should you require any clarifications or you need any further assistance and feel free to contact us.

Kind regards,

Mohammad Beakheet
