A.Hi,
Usually, a civil suit when filed in the case of a dishonor of cheque is for the recovery of the money. While a criminal suit pushes the defaulter to be punished, it doesn’t necessarily result in the recovery of the dues. Therefore, two simultaneous pleas are maintainable. Apart from cases of gift or donation, these remedies are available to the victim in all the cases of pending debt or liability. If you found this helpful, please rate us.

A.Hi,
If found guilty, the defaulter can be punished with monetary penalty which may be twice the amount of the cheque or imprisonment for a term which may be extended to two years or both. The bank also has the right to stop the cheque book facility and close the account for repeat offences of bounced cheques. If you found this helpful, please rate us.
