      WE (INCLUDING MY WIFE) WERE 4 DIRECTORS OF A PVT LTD COMPANY (AAPL). ALL WERE SIGNING AUTHORITY OF BANK. ME & MY WIFE ISUUED A BLANK SECURITY CHEQUE OF COMPANY TO OWNER OF A FIRM FROM WHERE WE REGULARLY PURCHASE GOODS IN JULY 15 & TOOK RECIEPT WITH DATE.
      LATER WE BOTH RESIGNED IN JUNE 16. OTHER 2 DIRECTORS ARE RUNNING THE COMPANY.
      OPPOSITE PARTY , WRITING DATE BEFORE OUR RESIGNATION, PRESENTED IN BANK & BOUNCED & AFTER LEGAL NOTICE , FILED CASE AGAINST US UNDER NI ACT 138. THEY DID NOT CONSIDER OUR REPLY OF LEGAL NOTICE.
      RECEIVER OF BLANK SEC CHEQUE IS THE OWNER/PARTNER OF OPPOSITE FIRM ON ONE HAND & DIRECTOR OF OUR COMPANY ON OTHER( SIGNING AUTHORITY OF ISSUED CHQ).
      WHAT SHOULD WE DO NOW ??

      It may not be possible to give any definitive opinion in view of complicated facts of the case unless one has seen the detailed papers. Please consult some local lawyer by showing him your papers.
