1. The defence that he paid 30L and you did not gave him any receipt is not tenable given his past conduct and cases filed by you against him.
2. File a complaint in the  Court of Magistrate  for cheating as police will hesitate to register the   Court will issue direction to police to register FIR and investigate.
3. File a criminal complaint under 138 Negotiable Instruments Act, 1981.
4. File a summary suit on the basis of cheques.
5. You have full advantage of previous case.

If the cheque amount was only for thirty lakhs and the same was received by you, then you can withdraw the cheque bounce case however if the recovery suit in the summary suit is for the entire mount, you can restrict your claim to that extent only after deducting the amount you have received now and continue the summary suit .

Since you have already filed the cheque bounce case you will not be able to file a fresh cheque bounce case. At this stage where you have already approached court for recovery no police case will be maintainable

Dear client,

As your case has various legal disputes, multiple legal actions, and breach of compromise agreement, so depending upon the facts of the case there are various legal actions that you can take:

1. As your client is making a false claim of rupees 30lakhs and is trying to dishonor the cheque, so you can file for cheating and criminal breach of trust.
2. As they have given a postdated cheque after the compromise deed that has bounced so you can file a new case under section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act, and this will be a separate case from the earlier case that you have filed.
3. If your initial police FIR is still active you can file a supplementary complaint stating that he has breached compromise agreement and committed fraud.
4. Do not withdraw your old case until he fully complies with the settlement.

Hope this helps you; if you still have any clarifications or issues, do not hesitate to ask.

1. File a new FIR for breach of compromise and fraud.

2. File a new case under Section 138 NI Act for dishonored cheques.

3. File a new Summary Recovery Suit for the remaining ₹30 lakhs.

4. Do not close previous cases yet. Inform the court about the breach of compromise.

5. Your primary case (₹1.5 Cr) strengthens as he admitted liability by settling for ₹50L.

Given the facts of your case, your relative's claim of paying ₹30 lakhs in cash without a receipt appears to be an afterthought and an attempt to evade liability. Since the compromise deed clearly outlines the payment terms and you possess the original post-dated cheques, you have a strong case. Here is a strategic approach to proceed:

1. File a New Case Under Section 138 of the NI Act: Since the post-dated cheques were part of the compromise agreement and have now been dishonoured, you are entitled to initiate fresh proceedings under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Ensure that you send a legal notice to your relative within 30 days of cheque dishonour demanding the payment within 15 days. If he fails to pay, you can file a new complaint under Section 138 within 30 days after the notice period ends.

2. Avoid Filing a New FIR Immediately: Since this is a financial dispute and you already have criminal cases pending, it is advisable to focus on the cheque bounce route rather than filing a fresh FIR. However, if you have evidence that he has acted fraudulently or intends to cheat (e.g., issuing cheques knowing they would bounce), you may consider filing a new criminal complaint under Sections 406 (Criminal Breach of Trust) and 420 (Cheating) of the IPC.

3. Consider Filing a New Summary Suit: If you wish to secure your claim faster, you may also initiate a fresh summary suit under Order XXXVII of the CPC for the recovery of ₹30 lakhs based on the dishonoured cheques and the compromise deed. This can run parallel to your Section 138 case.

4. Update the Court in Existing Cases: You may file an application in the pending cases informing the court of the breach of the compromise agreement. This strengthens your primary claim of ₹1.5 crores by establishing his repeated dishonesty and non-compliance. However, the dishonour of new cheques creates a fresh cause of action that is best pursued separately for procedural efficiency.

5. Advantage for Your Primary ₹1.5 Crore Case: The breach of the compromise agreement bolsters your original claim by highlighting his unwillingness to honour financial commitments. If the ₹30 lakh payment is successfully recovered, it can be adjusted against your initial ₹1.5 crore claim. His failure to fulfil the compromise terms could weaken his credibility across all pending cases.

A multi-pronged approach—filing a fresh Section 138 case while maintaining the pressure through your ongoing civil and criminal proceedings—will provide maximum legal leverage. Consulting with your advocate for case-specific nuances and court procedures is advised for efficient handling.

File a fresh FIR. Don't withdraw any previous case. Based on the 20L payment , you may have to check with your lawyer if you should file for amendment of pleadings and reliefs sought. He's trying to change the cause of action and deviate the courts with the 20L payments and revised Compromise deeds.

Reply to the notice with real facts and warn them to adhere to the compromise or else wait for further cases.
