दस्तावेज़ ख़ुद अंग्रेज़ी में है। भारत में इस तरह के काग़ज़ आमतौर पर अंग्रेज़ी में ही बनते हैं, और रजिस्ट्रार, बैंक या अदालत में वही शब्द पढ़े जाते हैं जो लिखे गए हैं। जिन दस्तावेज़ों के हिन्दी अनुवाद को हम जाँचकर स्वीकृत कर देते हैं, उनके लिए यह मंच अंग्रेज़ी के साथ वह अनुवाद भी देता है; अनुवाद और अंग्रेज़ी पाठ में अंतर होने पर अंग्रेज़ी पाठ ही मान्य होगा।

कब ज़रूरत पड़ती है

The drawer of a bounced cheque has been sent a written demand under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 — use the Cheque Dishonour Legal Notice for that, if it has not gone out yet — and has let the fifteen days from receiving that notice pass without paying the cheque amount in full. This is the criminal complaint that follows: filed before the Judicial Magistrate First Class (or Metropolitan Magistrate) having jurisdiction, asking the court to take cognizance of the offence under section 138 and to summon the drawer.

और पढ़ें

Section 142(1)(b) of the Act requires this complaint to be made within one month of the date the cause of action arises — the day after the fifteen days given in the notice expire — though the proviso lets the Magistrate take a later complaint if the complainant shows sufficient cause for the delay. Work out that one-month date before filing, and if it has passed, be ready to explain the delay; this template asks you to record which position you are in rather than assuming the point away. Not for the demand notice itself, which is a separate, earlier document — use the Cheque Dishonour Legal Notice for that. Not for a cheque that was never followed by a section 138 notice at all: without that notice having gone out within thirty days of learning of the return, no offence under section 138 arises and this complaint has nothing to stand on.

नीचे जो लिखा है वह पंजाब और चंडीगढ़ के लिए है। इसमें वहीं की स्थिति दी गई है, यह नहीं कि यह कहाँ-कहाँ कैसे बदलती है — यानी नीचे की रकमें वही हैं जो लागू होती हैं। दरें बदलती रहती हैं, इसलिए सब-रजिस्ट्रार दफ़्तर से पक्का कर लेना ठीक रहता है। अगर प्रॉपर्टी भारत में कहीं और है, तो इनमें से कुछ भी आपके लिए नहीं है।

स्टाम्प ड्यूटी

No stamp duty is payable on this complaint in Punjab or in Chandigarh — a criminal complaint is not an instrument within section 2(14) of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, and creates or transfers no right; it asks a Magistrate to take cognizance of an offence.

रजिस्ट्री

Not registrable in either place. No clause of section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 reaches a criminal complaint, and this document is filed with the court's own registry rather than with a Sub-Registrar.

नोटरी

The complaint itself is not notarised. What section 145 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 lets the Complainant do instead is give evidence by way of affidavit, which is then sworn before the court's own oath commissioner, a notary, or the Magistrate at the time of filing — confirm which the particular court's filing counter wants.

गवाह

No attesting witness signs the complaint. The Complainant's own sworn statement, taken on oath under section 200 of the applicable criminal procedure code (see lawyerShouldCheck on the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 to Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 transition) or filed as a section 145 affidavit, is what the Magistrate examines before deciding whether to issue process.
