Subject: Reply to Notice dated
8.12.2018 issued under Section 138 of
the Negotiable Instrument Act,1881.
Under the instructions and authority of my
client Mr. Girishbhai Shah Proprietor of Gautam
Agency , I address this reply to you legal notice
as follows:
1. At the outset my client denies all the
averments made in the notice in its
entirety and unless and until specifically
admitted by my client, all the averments of
the notice to be treated as denied in its
totality.
2. The cheque referred in the notice was not
issued for the purpose of presentation to the
bank. The said cheque was given to you i.e.
recipient no.1 as security deposit which has
been misused by you. You were aware that
there were genuine dispute relating to
account with my client and despite the
aforesaid only with a view to pressurise my
client such notice has been issued.
3. At the outset it is pointed out that the
recipient no.1 had deliberately issued notice
from Delhi only with a view to create
jurisdiction. The transactions if at all had
taken place at Ahmedabad the jurisdiction
for the purpose of 138 of NI Act cannot be
misused in such a manner by issuing such
notices. That my client has an account at
Ahmedabad where allegedly the said cheque
had come for the purpose of encashment
therefore there is no question of creating
jurisdiction in Delhi by merely issuing such
notice.
4. At the outset it is stated that there are no
legally enforceable debt in your favour and
cheque which had been deposited has been
misused for the reason that my client was
your distributor who was dumped with
excess goods which were never purchased or
ordered by my client. This apart the
company was responsible for the sale of the
goods and against such sale, concerned
retailers were to receive incentives as per
promotion and promises made by the
company i.e. recipient No.1. That these
incentives were to be given through my
client and therefore infact you are liable to
pay such incentives to my client which you
have agreed.
5. That the product which has been supplied by
you Recipient No.1 is defective and therefore
several complaints were raised with you.
Infact the correspondence by my client with
Recipient No. 1 would reveal that my client
has informed for return of goods/products
which were supplied in excess amounting
close to Rupees 12,00,000/- (Twelve lacs)
against appropriate reimbursement which
you have not done till date. Thus my client
has been cheated and there is clear offence
of cheating committed by you for which my
client reserves right to file appropriate
complaint/FIR before appropriate forum.
That above facts would reveal from email
exchanged between Recipient No. 1 and my
clients which is on record.
6. In view of above said position it is crystal
clear there is no liability of my client as
indicated in the aforesaid notice. My client is
not liable for any prosecution as alleged and
therefore you are requested to forthwith
withdraw the notice in question immediately.
Since the reply is necessitated on account of
your action you are liable to pay the cost of
present reply which is quantified at Rupees
25,000/- (Twenty Five Thousand).
