Car selling fraud
I had a deal with a transport company to buy a vehicle. I had given them post-dated cheques to hand over the vehicle to me. After that, neither they handed over the vehicle nor returned the cheques.
I tried to contact them but all in vain. In the end, I had registered a case in Dubai Courts. The case was referred to AMICABLE Disputes Department. No one from that company came for the hearing.
A guy in AMICABLE Department told me that they tried to contact the company on contact details e.g. mobile number, landline and fax & physical address provided on their trade license but could not have a contact.
So I was told that the case will be referred back to Dubai Courts and I need to get a hearing date from the Judge. Yesterday I approached the bank and asked them if I can block the issued cheques and I was told that yes, it can be done.
My question is that, will it be a wise step to block the cheques and continue the case in court?
Kindly suggest.
Thank You.
Regards.

Dear,
You should've initiated a criminal case against the other party for fraud and misrepresentation if the agreement was signed and they did not hand over the possession of the vehicle.
Note that you should prove the said fraudulent act on the basis of documentary evidence.
