Dear Questioner,
Thank you for reaching out with your concern!
Regarding bounced cheques due to insufficient funds or no funds, you can indeed file a cheque execution case as mentioned.
You would need to file against both the company that owns the account and the signatory of the cheque, typically the company's director.
Even if the owner is not in the country, you can still take several enforcement actions against both the company and the signatory, including:
- Travel ban to prevent the signatory from leaving the country.
- Seizing the company's assets, including bank accounts, properties, and shares.
- Seizing the company's office premises and any associated properties.
- Freezing the bank accounts of the company and the signatory.
These measures aim to recover your funds through legal channels.
Please feel free to contact us if you need further assistance or representation in this matter.

Dear Questioner,
Thank you for reaching out with your query!
If a PDC cheque has bounced due to insufficient funds and the issuing company is not contactable, you have a few legal options to consider:
- Cheque Execution Case:
Filing a cheque execution case is a viable option. This legal procedure allows you to seek enforcement of the cheque amount through the court system.
If the court rules in your favor, they can issue orders to recover the amount from the debtor’s available assets.
- Absence of the Owner:
If the owner of the company is not in the country, it may complicate the recovery process, but it does not render it impossible.
The court can still proceed with the case, and once a judgment is obtained, it can be enforced against the company's assets within the country.
- Legal Representation: It is crucial to have legal representation to navigate this process effectively. I can assist you in filing the case, representing your interests in court, and taking all necessary steps to recover the cheque amount.

In this situation, the first step is to contact the customer and inform them about the bounced cheque.
You can also send them a legal notice asking for payment. If you can't reach them, you may need to consider filing a cheque execution case.
If you decide to file a cheque execution case and the customer is not in the country, the court may issue a warrant for their arrest if they don't show up in court. The final result will depend on the laws in your area and the details of your case.
Other options for recovering the cheque amount include hiring a debt recovery agency or taking legal action to seize the customer's assets.
It's a good idea to talk to a lawyer to figure out the best way to move forward in your situation.
