The procedure for enforcing a cheque bounce order can vary from one jurisdiction to another, as it is governed by the laws and regulations of the specific country or state where the case was filed. However, here is a general overview of the steps typically involved in enforcing a cheque bounce order: Obtain a Certified Copy of the Cheque Bounce Order: After the court has ruled in your favor in a cheque bounce case, you should obtain a certified copy of the court's order or judgment. This certified copy serves as proof of the court's decision. Send a Legal Notice: Send a legal notice to the drawer of the bounced cheque demanding the payment of the cheque amount along with any applicable interest and legal fees within a specified period (usually 15 to 30 days). This notice serves as a final opportunity for the drawer to settle the debt without further legal action. Filing for Execution: If the drawer does not comply with the legal notice and fails to make the payment as ordered by the court, you can initiate the execution of the court's order. This typically involves filing an application for execution with the court that issued the order. Attachment of Assets: In some cases, you may request the court to attach the assets of the drawer to recover the cheque amount. This can involve seizing bank accounts, properties, or other assets owned by the drawer to satisfy the judgment debt. Arrest Warrant (if applicable): In some jurisdictions, non-payment of a cheque bounce order can lead to the issuance of an arrest warrant against the drawer. This typically happens when the court believes that the drawer is intentionally avoiding payment. Garnishment of Wages (if applicable): In some cases, the court may allow the garnishment of the drawer's wages or salary to recover the cheque amount. Legal Assistance: Throughout the enforcement process, it is advisable to seek legal assistance from a qualified attorney who is knowledgeable about the relevant laws and procedures in your jurisdiction. They can guide you through the process, file the necessary documents, and represent your interests in court. Keep Records: Maintain detailed records of all communications, legal notices, court orders, and actions taken during the enforcement process. This documentation can be crucial in case of any disputes or challenges. It's important to note that the procedures and options available for enforcing a cheque bounce order can vary significantly depending on the laws of your jurisdiction. Therefore, it is crucial to consult with a legal expert or attorney who can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation and the laws in your area.

The complainant needs to be present before the magistrate at the time of filing. The original documents need to be shown to the magistrate. If prima-facie a case is made out, the magistrate will post the matter for sworn statement. 2) Sworn Statement: At this stage, the complainant needs to enter the witness box and give further details regarding the case. If the magistrate is satisfied that there is some substance in the case of the complainant, then he will issue a summons to the accused. 3) Appearance of Accused: On receipt of summons, the accused need to appear in the court. If he does not appear in the court, the court will issue an arrest warrant against him. After appearance, the accused is supposed to take a bail from the court with or without sureties.

This cash security is refundable to the accused after the conclusion of the case. 4) Recording of Plea: In the next stage, the court will ask the accused as to whether he has committed the offence or not.

An accused needs to give his version to the same. 7) Defence Evidence: After the Accused statement the court will give an opportunity to the accused to leave his evidence. The accused can also produce documents in support of his case, as well as witnesses in his support. Accused and his witnesses will be cross examined by the complainant.
