A. Dear Client,
While it's challenging without a receipt, you can still take steps to retrieve your money. Document all interactions with the lawyer, including dates, times, and details of conversations.

A. Dear Client,
A complaint filed against a person under Sec,138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act, 1938 is a criminal offense and accordingly a bailable warrant was issued against the person that is typically reflected in police record. So, when the case is pending for trial, as a job seeker you should mention the status of the case in the Police Verification certificate even it affects your career. A stigma of criminal record is waived once you acquited from the charge by the trial court.
