Checking a possible case or travel ban in GCC due to UAE bank debts
Ms. Nikhat,
I'm in India. Please advise on an ongoing issue with me for the last 2 years and for no reason, or you can say suffering without fault.
I have issued cheques in a settlement for my cousin regarding his civil case. It was a claim of 2.2 Million with dividing the amount into 12 cheques of 20k each, and rest of the amount of AED 1.7 Million approximately in 13 months.
Where it was clearly written in the agreement that as soon my cousin got his chequebook from the bank, all my cheques get replaced with the new one.
As it took 2 months to get the new chequebook because of cousin's visa expiry, the other lawyer refused to replace my cheques and said if you want to replace they will keep my cheques as a guarantee.
So we could not replace them with new cheques. He put my cheque into the bank and I left the country in August 2016. I'm still out and only my cousin is there in the UAE arranging the fund without any success.
I lost my 12 years of Dubai experience and doing nothing. I don't know if I will face any issue in immigration for Qatar.
If there is an agreement, I need to have a look at that. In any event, you will have to file a case to contest a breach of the same.
You may travel to Qatar as the systems are not linked. GCC countries have interconnected criminal identification system related to national security for crimes like murder, but not for civil cases.
