Legal Case U/s 138, 141 Against My Previous Company Including Me
Respeced Sir's/Mam, I was an employee(Designation - Senior Accountant) in a company. That time on all the purchase orders was signed by myself. Our company issued 3 PDC cheques in Oct-20 to the party but 2 cheques got bounced in Feb-21 & Mar-21. Company paid 1 cheque amount through Net banking in Feb/Mar. The party filed a case u/s 138 & 141 in April-2021 against my previous company including me for both cheques. Liability is more than the both cheques amount. I resigned in December-2020 and joined another company in January-21. They mentioned me as accused No.4. How an employee is responsible for paying company dues or why they are involving me. Two hearings already done but no one present from my previous company and I also not present for hearing. Today I received Summon. What should I have to do in this situation??

Hello In such cases, the signee has to be the party. You have to present your case that you signed the cheques on the orders of the company and it is not your own doing against the company ( which can be one scenario) Regards

We have purchased 2/3rd share in a land from Mr. A & B.. Another person purchased remaining 1/3rd share of land from Mr.C.. I understand that earlier this entire land pertains to one person and he has sold it in 3 shares to Mr. X, Y and Z without describing seperate boundary for each share.. and X Y and Z inturn sold it to Mr. A, B and C from whom we purchased our 2/3 rd share of land.. Now the other person who purchased the remaining 1/3rd of land is not allowing us to do agriculture in our 2/3rd share of land and asking us to exchange his 1/3rd of land with our any one 1/3rd share because his 1/3rd of land has less water capacity.. His argument is that it is a joint property because there are no seperate boundaries for our 2/3rd share and his 1/3rd share and he can take any 1/3rd share in the joint property.. but we are unwilling to exchange the share.. Please guide us on whether it is a joint property ?? Is his contention valid ?? If we go to court, who has the possibility of winning the case.
