A.Dear client,The Supreme Court of India in the matter of Aparna A Shah Vs. Sheth Developers (P) Ltd held that the joint account holder cannot be held liable unless he has also signed and issued the cheque in question. In other words, all persons to the joint account must sign and only in that event, all such persons shall be liable for dishonor of cheque under Section 138 of the Act.

A.Dear Client,
My knowledge in Hindi is limited.
What I understand from your description/heading that Account holder will be held responsible for Cheque Bounce case and it is punishable under NI Act.Coming to the other part, when you are paying money to the bank you must have kept some Records and why can not come to an end.
Check your accounts properly and take appropriate decision which you deem fit.
