Fifty Thousand only) issued by the Accused in favor of the
Complainant, which cheque returned as dishonored under
cheque return memo for the reasons “Funds Insufficient”.
2. That thereafter, despite issuance of Legal Notice dated

Thousand only), the Accused has failed to make payment of the
subject-matter amount of the aforementioned dishonoured

accompanying Complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable
