Can a civil case lead to jail time and deportation?

Dear Sir/Madam,

Is a civil case punishable by jail and will send me back to your home county?

Initially, I got a criminal case due to non-payment of my loan, after which, I just paid the fine at the police station.

I am just worried that the bank can file a criminal case as I have not settled the amount.

How will I know if they file a criminal case against me?

Please advise.

Thank you!

Dear Questioner,

It is possible to inquire about the cases related to a particular court in one emirate, and it is produced by the existence of cases, which is the goal of the client's request.

The cost of searching for this option is 645 dirhams, not including POA fees.

Dear Questioner,

The law has changed. Previously, the bounced check was a crime. Now a bounced check is not a crime.

Dear Questioner,

You have already paid the criminal penalty, which is a fine. However, the criminal case still requires you to pay the value of the debt.

If the bank records this, you will be notified of the civil court hearings. The bank may also freeze your bank accounts, and the execution judge may issue an arrest warrant and prevent you from traveling.
