Can I settle a bounced cheque case with criminal intent to avoid criminal proceedings?

Hello,

I will have a potential criminal and cheque execution case due to a bounced cheque with criminal intent.

My question is if I settle the execution case by paying the total amount, is there any possibility of avoiding criminal proceedings or getting the case closed?

It is possible to avoid criminal proceedings if you settle the execution case by paying the total amount.

However, this will depend on the specific circumstances of your case and the discretion of the court.

Leave a phone number and you will be contacted.

Greetings.

Yes, if you pay the check, there is no reason to file a lawsuit against you and you can submit a request to dismiss the lawsuit.

In the UAE, issuing a cheque without sufficient funds or with criminal intent can lead to criminal charges.

If a criminal case has been filed against you, paying the full amount in the execution case does not automatically close the criminal case.

The criminal case will still be investigated by the authorities and may proceed to trial unless there is an agreement between both parties (the issuer and the holder of the cheque).

It is possible, in some cases, to reach an agreement with the creditor to withdraw the criminal complaint after you settle the debt.

However, this would depend on the creditor’s willingness to withdraw the complaint. If the creditor agrees, the case may be dropped or settled through an agreement, but this is not guaranteed and depends on the discretion of the prosecution and the judge.

Even after you settle the debt, the public prosecution may still choose to proceed with the criminal case, especially if there are allegations of fraud or intentional dishonesty.

You can settle the matter with the other party and pay the full amount, then prepare a settlement agreement between you.

Paying the full amount owed on a bounced check can sometimes mitigate the severity of the situation.

If the case is so related to each other, by submitting the clearance of the cheque execution case on settlement, the criminal case can also be cleared.

There are certain procedures to follow with the prosecution. We will let you know them in detail.

Kindly share your WhatsApp number to discuss this further.

Yes,

Settling execution cases by paying the total amount owed may help avoid criminal proceedings in some jurisdictions; however, it does not guarantee closure as outcomes depend on local laws and circumstances surrounding intent and negotiation with creditors.

Dear questioner

We need to take appropriate defense for removing the criminal case as the settlement with the opposing party and their withdrawal of the case itself will not close the case file so it will be better to close the file by attending the hearing as well as doing settlements.

Kindly share your WhatsApp number for further assistance.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

In cases involving bounced cheques, paying the full amount owed can often help in resolving the cheque execution matter and may also assist in mitigating the criminal proceedings.

However, the possibility of avoiding or closing the criminal case depends on various factors, including the specifics of your case, the stance of the complainant, and the discretion of the court.

To give you a precise understanding of your options and the best approach to safeguard your interests, I recommend discussing your case details further.

Please feel free to reach out to me directly via WhatsApp, phone, or email.

Best regards,

Suhail Rana
