Not only 138 N I Act , but also you can file a case of cheating as well as criminal breach of trust in local court, because your client deliberately issued cheque to u, knowing it very well that cheque would not entertained because of stop payment on the previous day i. e 21.2.14.
Dear Querist
You can file a criminal complaint against him under section 138 of N.I Act read with section 420 of Ipc before court but you have to send a legal demand notice and give him 15 days if he is not ready to make the payment within 15 days from receipt the notice then you can file the complaint before court.
