Legal Question in Criminal Law in India
Dear Sir,
I have a retail shop of Sarees in mumbai, I always purchase sarees from Surat, I purchased sarees of approx Rs:-33,000/-(Total Bill) on Feb 2011 from a party via a broker,and I had given 3 undated cheques as security to that party, in the month of Aug 2011, broker visited my shop and he demanded that money in cash....on my companies letter head dated 28/08/2011, i wrote a letter to the party that I am handling Rs:-33,000/- in cash to the broker , hence return all 3 undated cheques....the broker even did his signature on it that he has received cash and he took the original copy with him I kept the photo copy of it....within this period I did not receive any call from the party for demanding the money from me...I thought the broker would have handed over the cash to the party and party would send me the security cheque's via courier asap....
On 29/04/2012 when I visited my bank...I came to know that the party had deposited all the 3 cheques and cheques were bounced
Today(30/04/2012) after approx after a year I received a notice from a lawyer from PUNE on behalf of that party in SURAT demanding Rs:-33,000/- within 15days...
Request you to kindly help me as to what can be done in this case....as I have already made the payment of that parties outstanding bill to the broker

Reply to the legal notice saying that you have already paid in cash and attach the cash receipt.
The notice may barred by limitation law. An appropriate advice is possible after perusing your documents. You may contact a local lawyer alongwith all the documents to ascertain correct legal position.
Since payment was made to broker, you may be required to face the consequence.
