My friend gave a cheque as security in 2016 and they filed the case in 2022 but reply to legal notice his lawyer mentioned reason it was "misplaced" which is incorrect. Now we stuck with two versions. He received summon yesterday, and he is going to appear N.D.O.H and let me be very clear that no bailable or non bailable warrant issued against my friend. As proceeding in digital court (Saket Court)

Q,1 : I want to know bail application and Bail Bond is mandatory even accused appearing on that day irrespective of BW/NBW issued or Not ?

Q. 2: If yes, how do we know the amount for Bail Bond before appearing the Court? As summon mentioned that you would be required to furnish bail bond on the date of hearing which can be Email to the Court and they don't specify any amount for that. Who will inform Amount for that and When?

Q.3: After appearance and bail, what will be next Stage?

Q.4: What will be the best defence for that cheque misplaced or security cheque?

A.It appears from the contents of the query, that the case is time-barred i.e, barred by limitation, so, reach out to an Advocate ASAP for first-hand information, guidance and necessary steps.
