See check firstly is complaint and notice of cheque bounce given in time, further you can file a reply and annex the copy of written promise note. further more that the work is due for that a consumer complaint can be filed by you.

Is it a court notice or a legal notice?

kindly share the copy if the notice 

Sir engage an advocate he will see that notice was given under prescribed limitation or not and further was filed in due time after one month from due date of notice(not court notice the person has to give you a notice with one month of cheque bounce to pay).

Sir before court notice you recieved no notice from the said person?

1) complaint would contain detailed averments as to when cheque was dishonoured , when notice was issued , when reply received . when complaint filed 

Dear Client,

No demand notice issued/received before filling case. If not than case not maintainable.

Appear in court on next date, details you will find in court file. Hire local lawyer.

Is it Legal Notice or Court Notice?

No case of cheque bounce is made against you since the post-dated cheque in question was not issued towards discharge of an existing debt or liability, but rather for a future contingent amount.

You have option to approach the High Court and getting this cheque bounce case quashed.

Contact a local lawyer.

There is a statutory period of 15 days since the day the legal notice for cheque bounce is received by the defaulting party, to revert or take any necessary action.

In case there is no revert or action by the defaulting party, the aggreaved party should file a criminal case of cheque bounce under Sec 138 NI within 30 days of the close of 15 days since the notice was received by the defaulting party (within 45 days of receipt of legal notice by the defaulting party)

Section 138 applies only in case of insufficient fund as as you have stop the cheque payment you have all the reason to contest and reply the notice received in this regard if there is no amount due then that should not be paid and if somebody is claiming you can file a case under section 419 420 and 406 in Criminal Court.

The payment in excess of rupees 10,000 is illegal and you need not to discuss this in future in any of your claims.

Please rate this answer if you like it

If you have received the notice from court, then you may appear before court and fight the case strongly opposing and denying his allegaions.

There appears to be no legally liable debt if what you say is to be accepted as fact.

Have you sent a letter ofr notice to the interior designer mentioning about his deficient service hence you are cancelling the cheque payment and also his contract.

This would enable you to fight the case properly and get acquitted.
