INTRODUCTION
Law is a field wherein practical knowledge is absolutely different from what we learn in books.
Through books and our lengthy syllabus of each semester we are taught both the substantive law
as well as the procedural law.
However, what we are taught in the classrooms is totally different from what we see in the court.
No matter how well-versed you are in studies and how well you score in exams, practical training
is essential to gain a foothold in this career.
The term internship refers to a stage / phase during which an individual gets the opportunity to
experience his / her industry of interest before entering into it full time and opting for it as his / her
future career field. They are ideal for understanding the way a particular industry functions and
what it would be like to work in that scenario. Probably because of the above-mentioned reason, it
is seen that almost all professional courses have included a semester of compulsory internships in
their course curriculum.
I got the chance for learning the procedure of a law firm and other legal process during the months
from July, 2023 to September, 2023 when I was given the golden opportunity of working with
Advocate Mr. Nirdesh Bidhuri.
I, as an intern personally felt that it was great to see how my textbook knowledge applied to real
world situations. I experienced how the legal department functions daily, rather than just reading
or hearing about it. The real-world situation was completely different from the knowledge we gain
from textbooks. There were certain minute procedures that are not mentioned anywhere and they
could be learnt only by first-hand experience. Moreover, such a close interaction with the real
situation helped me decide better, as to what are the possible options and avenues that can be
pursued by me in the future and the implications of each are.

INTERNSHIP REPORT
DAY 1
I reached the court complex by 9.30 and then I went to the chamber of Nirdesh sir. I was asked to
give a brief introduction of myself and then Sir introduced me to his other associates and junior
advocates, after the formal introduction, sir assigned one of his juniors, Sagar sir who was also an
alumni of our faculty to take me to the court room and observe court proceedings. Sagar sir took
me to the court room 21 1 of Sh. Divyam,Lila, LDMM where one of our cases was listed. Sir told
me about all the persons who are involved in a court proceeding other than a judge and advocates
such as the Reader, Stenographer, Ahlmad, etc,, After this he showed the cause list which is pinned
outside the courtroom and explained to us how to read a case list and to what are the matters going
in that particular courtroom, this case list is updated on a daily basis. After observing the
proceedings of the court room which was very intriguing as it was totally different than what we
had the perception earlier. The first day was basically an introduction to how things work in a court
and what is the role of different people in this.
DAY 2
On second day, I was given legal research work on Companies Act relating to compounding of
offences allowable under company law. In my research of the case, I learned that there are certain
offences under company law which are punishable with fine and penalty, such offences are not
compoundable in nature. I also researched the liability of directors in case of intentional
misconduct such as fraud u/s 447. The definition of fraud has undergone varied changes after
companies act 2013. A distinction has been created by law between offences involving public
interest and those not involving such interest.
DAY 3
After reaching the chamber, sir gave me a case file to read and brief the same to him. I started
reading the case file and it was regarding a recovery suit and we were from the plaintiff side which
was a bank. In this case, a recovery suit was filled u/o 37, CPC,1908 on behalf of the plaintiff bank.
The plaintiff bank gave a loan to the defendant at a interest rate of 16.67% p.a. The terms and
conditions of the sanction ticket was duly agreed and acknowledged by the defendant under his
signature. But after some time, the defendant failed to maintain the financial discipline and on the
account of non- service of interest for more than three months, the above account has been
classified as Non-performing Asset as per the extant guidelines of RBI and hence, the cause of
7
action arose against the defendant. After reading the case file, i briefed the same to sir and sir also
explained to me the procedure and various legal issues involved in this case.
DAY 4
When I reached the chamber, Sir was already there and was preparing for a new case. A general
discussion was done to learn how a case is planned and initiated. I was made to understand that
the basis of giving directions to a case starts from the beginning itself at the time of filing of petition
or written submission. All the possibilities regarding remedies available or the flaws in petition, as
the case may be, should remain on the tips of a lawyer, which of course depends on the experience.
A lawyer should have an open mind and remain alert with the developments in the surroundings.
There are several different types of cases which are related to different special knowledge like
medico-legal cases, so a lawyer should have a basic understanding of each and every special field.
In the end I was also made to understand that while dealing with your client one should not forget
that the legal profession should not be treated “only” as a “source of livelihood”, rather at the same
time, one should not forget his duty towards society, which obligation, in the capacity of an
advocate, increases when, the litigant belongs to needy and lower strata of the society and further,
is sometimes even illiterate. Sir told us to take things slowly and steadily and to take one task each
day. So, today was all about how to initiate and proceed with a case in hand.
DAY 5
I reached the court premises a little late and when I reached the chamber, sir was already in a
meeting with a client and sir asked me to sit and observe the situation and I observed the techniques
and procedures of client handling. With past observations it had been gathered that it is necessary
to sync with the mental condition of a client. A case came in which client was got arrested by a
complainant, which according to client was based on false and frivolous complaint. The client was
very infuriated and wanted to inflict injury on other party by taking legal recourse. The advocate
listened to him patiently without confronting him that any legal recourse for inflicting injury is not
a viable option. After patient hearing the advocate provided the client proper counseling wherein
first all the legal options available were told. Then the pros and cons of each option was told and
relative chances of success in each option were discussed. Then slowly and steadily client was
calmed down and made to think that what in actual he wanted and how much resources he has to
fight a continuous legal battle. It was thrilling to see that how much vast social responsibility lies
with a lawyer and how he can make to alter the thinking of a disturbed client for the betterment of
that individual and society in general. I learned a lot from this about a client meeting and it also
8
helped me in my client- counsel interview exam.
DAY 6
I was asked to go to Patiala House Court with Sumit sir another junior advocate under sir and to
file the process fee for the process of fresh issue of summons to the opposite party in a matter
relating to dishonour of cheque under the Negotiable Instruments Act. I was told that for the
purpose of summoning of the witnesses/other party, process fee form along with process fee is to
be deposited with the Ahlmad of the court. After the court has ordered for service of the
notice/summons through registered A/D also, sufficiently stamped registered A/D envelopes along
with number of copies required for service are to be deposited with the Ahlmad within one week
of the order or within the time granted by the Court. Summons can also be ordered to be issued
through Courier/E-mail. Since these formalities had not been completed by us, the process fee
could not be filed on the day. We came back to the Chamber after applying for the certified copy
of the order after completing all the requisite formalities.
DAY 7
Sir told me that to be a good lawyer you should first be good at clerical work such as drafting a
document, e filing of cases, to maintain the case files and keeping them updated, framing
applications and such other small tasks.
The junior advocates described how to file a fresh case and all the procedures related to it. They
also described how to file a suit under Negotiable Instrument Act, that in case of dishonoured
cheque, we have to send a legal notice to the opposite party within 30 days and then they have to
reply to the notice in 15 days and if he doesn't do so then we have to file a case within 30 days.
Then we have to ask for the orders regarding the notice from the court and then we have to notify
the other party that we have filled a suit against them on filing of PF (process fee) RC (registered
cover).
DAY8
I was asked to file the process fee for the process of fresh issue of summons to the opposite party
in a matter relating to the dishonour of the cheque under the Negotiable Instruments Act. I had to
inquire from the Court master if there had been an order in the matter, for filing of process fee and
to inquire if the court fee filed was deficient. Since the order had been passed only in the morning
and the copy of the same had not been printed when I reached, the Court master and also
the Ahlmad could not answer my queries. However, I took the process fee form and called up an
9
associate asking for help in order to fill the same. Having filled the same, I went to complete the
other formalities only to return disappointed since the required formalities could not be completed
by us.
I visited the Ahlmad Room for the first time. Ahlmad is a person employed in an office or
government agency who performs various tasks such as keeping records or accounts, filing, letter
writing, or transcribing. One who works in a store and whose job might include working as a
cashier, selling merchandise, or waiting on customers.
I got to know the procedure for filing of process fee. Also, I learnt the procedure for applying for
certified copies of orders. The application is to be filed in the prescribed form. There are different
forms for applying certified copies. Requisite fee has to be paid for the same which is nominal. In
case of urgent copy, if the same has been applied before 11’o clock in the morning, it is generally
prepared and supplied on the same day. Other copies are supplied within 4-5 working days. As and
when copies are ready, one can collect the same from the delivery counter of the respective
Copying Agency. If there is any deficiency in the copying fees, the same is to be deposited at the
time of delivery. This was a day of great practical learning.
DAY 9
It was very unusual slow day as there were only one or two matters listed in the courts. So, I
decided to read the case files of the ongoing cases kept in the chamber. I saw how everything was
kept according to the date in the file also i learned a little bit about how to maintain a case file and
how the updates of the case are written in the front cover of the file with dates.
DAY 10
Sir took upon a case which was earlier taken by a different advocate and for this a Vakalatnama
has to be filed in the court. So, he asked me to draft a Vakalatnama on his name and told me to ask
for help from the junior advocates. I was clueless about how to draft a Vakalatnama but Sagar sir
explained to me how to do it.
Vakalatnama, also called Vakil Patra (VP), is a document, by which, the party filing the case
authorizes the Advocate to represent on their behalf. A vakalatnama gives a lot of authority to the
pleader. It should be executed by the client with great care and scrutiny. The Vakalatnama includes
the name of the court, the date on which it is executed, the name of the case, parties to the case,
party who is appointing the advocate, address of the party appointing the advocate, signature of
party and advocate who has been appointed by them.
10
DAY 11
We had one of our cases listed in the court of Sh. Bhupesh Kumar, District Judge (Commercial
Court). The case was Indian Bank v. Sunny Arora for recovery suit u/o 37, CPC ,1908. We were
for the plaintiff, Indian Bank. We had moved an application seeking substitution of the AR
(Associative Representative) of the plaintiff bank. It is submitted that earlier AR has been
transferred and now the bank intends to appoint Ms. Nirmala Supriya Kachhap, Sr. Manager, as
new AR. The hon'ble judge heard the application and considering the entire facts and
circumstances, Ms. Nirmala Supriya Kachhap, Sr. Manager stands substituted in place of the
earlier AR of the plaintiff bank.
Application stands disposed of accordingly.
DAY 12
I was very excited as i got to witness the chief- in- examination process in a very famous case,
State v. Aftab Ameen Poonawalla. It is a very famous murder case where the accused was charged
for murder of his girlfriend in a very gruesome manner.
A SPP (Special Public Prosecutor) was appointed by the government to handle this case.
The prosecution witness was produced and his chief - in - examination was conducted before the
hon'ble judge and opposite party. The PP was asking open- ended questions as it would help them
to tell their story and build their case. I observed how the questions are to be put in such
examinations and the restrictions on such questions. It is done to question one's own witness. The
questions are of the nature that would require descriptive answers and allow the witness to explain
his story. No leading questions are allowed to be put to the witness. The questions are in the form
of who, what, when where, why, how, describe, explain, tell etc. It was a very good experience, it
helped me understand how criminal cases are proceeded. But unfortunately, I could not witness
the cross-examination of the prosecution witness as we had another matter in another court.
DAY 13
On this day, sir told us to observe court proceedings in the court room which you like. I went to
the court of Sh. Puran Chand, LD ASJ, POCSO (FTS) where I witnessed the final arguments of a
case related to the rape of a minor. I observed that Ld. Judge asked the Ld. Counsel for the plaintiff
to argue first. Ld. Judge heard the arguments from the side of the plaintiff, thereafter arguments
were heard from the side of the opposite party at length. Initially, I observed that both the parties
were given 1 hour time for addressing arguments. I observed that after the arguments from the
defendant’s side, rebuttal was allowed for Ld. Counsel for the plaintiff but that was confined to
11
new facts only. It was a very intriguing experience for me as i got to know how big of role final
arguments play to decide a case.
DAY 14
On this day, I was assigned to do some research work on legal propositions for a civil matter. I
was also given some drafting work. Later that day, I went to the Chamber in order to attend a
scheduled client meeting. The meeting was related to a criminal case and our client was
complainant in it. My task was to observe the meeting and write down the information being
provided by the client. I learned that it is very important to hear the client patiently and if he is not
able to present facts clearly, then they should be asked questions related to the case. The questions
should be such that they are able to present a chronological picture of the whole case.
DAY 15
I was a little early and found the office to be locked. I called Sagar sir to ask for the keys and the
tasks that I was supposed to undertake. He asked me to take the keys from the Guard Room which
was on the ground floor. He then sent me questions to research upon. I was asked to read up on
Order XXI of the Code of Civil Procedure, Rules 54, 58 and 59. Order 21 of the Code of Civil
Procedure deals with the execution of the decrees passed by the Courts from grassroots to the top.
Rule 54 deals with the attachment of immovable property. It provides that where the property is
immovable, the attachment shall be made by an order prohibiting the judgment debtor from
transferring or charging the property in any way, and all persons from taking any benefit from such
transfer or charge. Rule 58 provides for the provisions relating to adjudication of claims to, or
objections to attachment of, property.
DAY 16
I drafted a plaint under Order 37, CPC for the recovery of money. The matter was regarding the
non payment of the loan amount and dishonoured cheque. Therefore, the matter was moved for
the recovery of money. Later, drafted an Anticipatory Bail application for applicant charged under
Section 379, IPC with Sagar sir he explained to me all the details which were to be filled in the
bail application. In this matter, the petitioner was charged for threatening a man, late in the evening
and forcing him to give all the valuables and jewellery. After all the drafting work, sir assigned me
to research on the settled laws regarding the broadcasting rights in India and the copyright claims
over the same. Also, researched on the definitions of “Broadcasting” and “Broadcasting Agency”,
salient features of approved policy for FM Radio Phase III, General rules of conduct in advertising.
12
DAY 17
Sir asked me to read a case file, I studied the case file that was allotted to me. The case was criminal
in nature and file contained the following documents-
1. FIR and written complaint u/s. 154(3), CrPC
2. Application u/s. 293, for discharge.
3. Studied the ingredients u/s. 509 (insulting the modesty of women through words or
actions), 341 (punishment for wrongful restraint), 34 (acts done in furtherance of common
intention), IPC.
I Also read and Decoded FIR filed in a matter to draft the timeline and list of dates and events and
read necessary case laws u/s. 420 and 120B, IPC.
After this, accompanied Sir to the family court in a guardianship matter.
DAY 18
Today we have to go to the family court where a matter regarding divorce on mutual consent was
listed upon. We were from both the petitioner and respondent side. We appeared before the hon'ble
judge; the judge ordered the parties for mediation. So, we took both the parties to the mediation
centre for further proceedings. Mediation is another way of resolving conflicts through the use of
specialized communication and negotiation techniques. All participants in mediation are
encouraged to actively participate in the process. The mediator used a wide variety of techniques
to guide the process in a constructive direction and to help the parties find their optimal solution
but the parties were not agreeing to settle the matter. So, a next date was given to settle the case
with the mediation process only.
DAY 19
The First Assignment on this day was to apply for certified copy of a case. Firstly, I tried to learn
what this concept is, So, I asked sir to elaborate the process for me. He then explained to me that
parties to any proceeding may, on application with the prescribed court fee made to the Court
having the custody of the record, obtain certified copies of any judgment, order, deposition,
memorandum of evidence, or any other documents filed in the said proceeding. The application
may be made by the party himself or by his recognized agent or by his Pleader or Advocate and
may also be sent by post. The application shall state whether the copy applied for is required for
private use or otherwise.
The Second Assignment on this day was to Posting of a Caveat by India Post. By this assignment,
I learned what a Caveat is and what its reasons are and where it is mentioned in any statute. I found
13
out through research that a Caveat is a notice given by a person, informing the Court that another
person may file a suit or application against him and that the Court must give the Caveator (person
filing the Caveat) a fair hearing before deciding any matter brought before it in the relevant case.
DAY 20
Today, we went to the court of …... matter was listed for framing of charges in a criminal case,
primarily involving Ss. 420 IPC (cheating) and 120B (criminal breach of trust). The police had
filed charge-sheet implicating the accused of the crime and so had kept him in column 11 of
chargesheet. No charges were framed against the father of the accused, alleged to be co-accused
in this case by the complainant, so his name was kept in column 12 of the charge-sheet. Arguments
were held on behalf of the accused to get both of them discharged, however, the court discharged
only the father of the accused considering that the police do not find his involvement in its
investigation and the complainant could not put forth any credible proof of his involvement. At the
time of framing of charges victim/ complainant was also summoned. The matter of framing of
charges were being held for the last three hearings.
DAY21
Today, Nirdesh sir was not present in the court and he asked to assist Vikas Sir, one of his
associates. So, I went with Vikas Sir in court room 05, where he filed an application for inspection
of the file in a case relating to Domestic Violence. The judge allowed the application and signed it
and gave it back to us. Vikas sir then asked me to go to the Ahlmad room of the courtroom 05. and
to show the application to the Ahlmad and asked him to prepare the file for the inspection and
asked me to call him when the file was ready because he had another matter to attend in a different
court. I went to the Ahlmad room, (every judge has his own Ahlmad likewise every courtroom has
a Ahlmad room with same no. as the courtroom) and presented the application to him, he said that
the file will be ready in 15 minutes and asked me to call my senior counsel and then only he will
take out the case file. I called Vikas sir and he came and then Ahlmad allowed him to inspect the
case file.
I observed that the Ahlmad asked sir to write on the application that he has inspected the case file
and to mention the time period he has taken to inspect the case file and then his signature. Sir was
noting down some details from the case file as it is not allowed to click pictures or print the case
file. After the inspection was done, sir explained to me that In order to trace particulars of a suit or
document, Counsel may, with the previous permission in writing of the Presiding officer of the
Court concerned and in the presence of a court official, inspect the civil or criminal registers of the
14
Court on behalf of parties, free of charge. After that, we applied for another application for
inspection in a different matter.
DAY22
Today there was not much work to do, so, I decided to observe court proceedings in other
Courtrooms where no matter of ours was listed for the day. I went to the court of Sh. Prashant
Sharma LD ASJ, where the chief-in- examination and cross examination was going on of the
prosecution witness. The case was about the suicide of a married woman and the father of the girl
accused her husband and in-laws for the suicide of his daughter. The witness whose examinations
were going on was the father of the deceased woman. First, the prosecution counsel conducted the
chief-in-examination of the witness and then the defense counsel proceeded with the cross
examination. I noticed that whatever was asked and whatever the answers were given the judge
was repeating them and the stenographer were recording them. The Judge was very patient and
humble and was trying to make the witness understand what is being asked to him as the witness
was an old person. I also observed that the defense counsel was mostly asking close-ended
questions and was not allowing the witness to explain anything and was putting leading questions
before him. At one point of time the witness became impatient and started saying things which
may possibly go against his case and then the Judge made him understand that he should refrain
himself from doing so as whatever he is saying will be recorded which is not good for him.
The judge also asked the junior advocates and interns to be attentive and he also asked some
questions also.
DAY23
Visit to Tis Hazari Court (Delhi). I accompanied Sir to Tis Hazari as Sir’s case was listed here. I
observed the structure of the court. It consists of 56 courts and various branches like the Delhi
Legal Aid Services (DLAS) office, Mediation Centre (3RD floor), the Nazarat Branch (1st floor)
that is the Process Serving Agency and is primarily responsible for the delivery / execution of
various processes issued by the courts at the Tis Hazari and receiving processes from other
districts/ states, the Civil Record Room and Criminal Record Room and the Copying Agency (3rd
floor) among others. We also managed to meet a Naib Court and enquire about his duties and
functions. He is a police employee and serves as a link between the court and the police. He
described himself as a “daak – peon” or some sort of a postman – cum- peon and explained that
he takes the court summons / notice to the police station under whose jurisdiction the accused
/witness resides and brings the copy of the FIR and the other documents from the police station to
15
the court. Therefore, he acts as a very important intermediary in the issue of process in criminal
cases.
DAY24
Today after reaching the chamber i noticed a client alleging Domestic Violence on her husband
came to the office and sir was discussing the matter with her and I was asked to sit with the
associates to discuss the case. I heard everything carefully and was asked to prepare a brief of the
meeting. Meeting lasted for around 3 hours and I and a co-intern prepared the case brief together.
Next day I was asked to draft a Domestic Violence Complaint u/s 12 of Protection of Women from
Domestic Violence Act, 2005. I was given a draft of the complaint and I made the new DV
according to that.
DAY25
I attended court proceedings in the matter relating to execution. The decree was passed in favour,
so I learnt the procedure decree is passed like how the nazarat officer has to file his report, bailiff
is appointed etc. Later that day, I was given work to Draft a complaint U/s 138 of Negotiable
Instruments Act, 1881. During my internship, I learnt that good drafting skills play a vital role in
the case. If you are able to convey your case through drafting, you can win half of the case at the
beginning only.
DAY 26
I visited the court of Sh. Pritam Singh, Principal Judge of Family Court, For the case of Bhupender
V. Seema and under the guidance of my advocate sir, counsel for Respondent, I observed the court
proceedings while at the stage of arguments. Counsel for the Respondent argued that on the last
date of hearing court ordered the Plaintiff to pay maintenance of 4000/- per month to the Defendant
but he paid only 3000/- only. So, therefore, after heard arguments from both sides Ld. Family
Court Judge passed the order that the Plaintiff to pay remaining sum and also pay the next month’s
maintenance within 30 days of the order and also direct counsel for Respondent to file Updated
Income Affidavit.
DAY27
On this day, we visited the courtroom 214, where one of our matters was listed, State v. Anup. In
this case a FIR was filed against our client (respondent). We requested the hon'ble judge to quash
the FIR as our client is innocent and had nothing to do with alleged offence. As there was
insufficient evidence and material to establish a prima facie case against the accused, the Hon’ble
16
judge quashed the FIR against the accused (our client) and the case was disposed of accordingly.
It was great relief for us and the client because our client was very well off and further court
proceedings would have costed him all his savings.
DAY 28
We had a matter listed in the court of Sh. Sachin Sangwan, LD, ASJ (FTC) regarding the grant of
interim bail u/s 439, CrPC for 15 days for our client in a case u/s 302/34 IPC. The accused had his
PHD entrance exams and was requesting the interim bail for the same. Accordingly, the accused
was granted interim bail 3on furnishing personal bond of Rs.25,000/- and one surety of like amount
to the satisfaction of Ld. MM/link MM/Duty MM, with the following conditions: -
1. Accused shall not contact the complainant directly or indirectly by any means,
2. As undertaken by the Ld. Counsel, the accused shall not visit the house of
complainant or even his own house during the interim bail period, and
3.Accused/his parokar shall furnish some proof of having appeared in the PHD
examination (after the exams) to the IO. The Bail application was disposed of accordingly.
DAY 29
We visited the courtroom of Ms. Lovleen, ASJ, we had one of our matters listed here. Our case,
State v. XXX was on the stage of arguments of charge. The accused was absent today so, we had
to move an exemption application from personal appearance on behalf of the accused through his
counsel (Advocate sir). After hearing the reason, the hon'ble judge allowed the application and the
matter was put up for arguments on charge on the next date.
DAY 30
On this day, we had a matter which was at the execution stage in the Family Court 03. The case
was regarding Divorce on mutual consent u/s 13b(1). The case was uncontested and hence was
disposed off while allowing the divorce petition. We had another matter which was listed for
prosecution evidence. U/s 307/34, IPC. The proceedings of criminal courts are rather interesting
than the proceedings of civil courts as in civil courts most of the work is done through documents
while in criminal cases, we get to witness the actual processes of producing witness and evidences,
framing of charges, cross and chief-in-examination etc.

CONCLUSION
It is not possible to estimate the practical situations while studying in a Classroom, an internship
is a platform where one can get huge stuff to learn and the best chance to handle the professional
situation. The law is not what we learn from our books, it is much beyond that. Internships are an
opportunity to apply the knowledge of the law practically. During the course of my internship, I
attended court proceedings of Saket District Court and Tis Hazari District Court and I also attended
client conferences and Conducted research work and drafting, filing work. One thing I learned
during the internship is how to work with the team to bring productive results to the organization
and how to co-ordinate with the team and maintain communication with other departments for
smooth flow of work. I was Influenced by a good work culture and to operate as a team.
During the internship, I worked in real-world legal environment, gaining exposure to various legal
tasks, such as legal research, drafting legal documents, attending client meetings, and participating
in court proceedings. By working alongside experienced lawyers, I gained insights into how the
law is practiced in real-life scenarios and observed how legal professionals analyze things and
apply legal concepts, how they navigate in the complexities of the legal system, and communicate
with clients and other stakeholders. During the internship I got the chance to work alongside legal
professionals and made some valuable connections within the industry, which can lead to future
job opportunities. In conclusion the Internship program has been very enlightening. I have
managed to learn a lot and to put into practice what I have studied in classroom during my
internship, this has also helped me to choose the path in law.

Sir,
RE: STATUTORY NOTICE UNDER SECTION 138 OF NEGOTIABLE
INSTRUMENTS ACT, 1881.
Upon the instruction and on behalf of my client Mr. Ravi Kumar, I do hereby
serve upon you this Legal Notice and state as under: -
1. That you the Addressee approached my client and represented that you are
in dire needs of funds and accordingly requested my client to lend you a
sum of Rs. 2,00,00,000/- towards a loan. Further, you the Addressee
assured my client that you will return the said loan within a stipulated
timeline.
2. That based upon your assurances and considering the fact that you are
acquaintance of my client, my client granted a loan of sum of Rs.
2,00,00,000/- to you the addressee on 04.04.2023.
3. That thereafter my client after an elapse of 3 month, my client called upon
you the addressee to return the loan amount, however, you the addressee
in complete ignorance of your assurances kept on averting the same. It is
stated after regular follow ups, you the addressee issued cheque bearing
no. 213456 dated 18.4.2023 for Rs. 2,00,00,000/- drawn on Punjab
National Bank, Shahdara, Delhi in favour of my client ("the said Cheque")
towards discharge of your liability At that relevant time, you had
represented and assured my client you will maintain financial discipline
by maintaining sufficient balance into your bank account and the said
cheque would be honoured at, the time of its realization. It is stated that
you the addresses have issued the said cheque towards discharge of of your
legally enforceable liability in relation to the aforesaid services of my
client.
4. Accordingly, my client on 30.1 1.2021 deposited the said cheque with its
banker viz. Union Bank of India, Ayanagar, New Delhi, under an
intimation to you the addressees. It is stated that my client was shocked
and surprised to discover that the said cheque got dishonoured upon
24
receiving the return memo with a remark/reason being "funds
insufficient ". Thereafter, my client informed you the addressee about
the said dishonour, when, you the addressee requested my client to
deposit the said cheque on 20.04.2023. Accordingly, my client once
again deposited the said cheque with its banker and was again shocked
and surprised upon receiving return memo dated 22.04.2023 with a
remark “funds insufficient".
5. That dishonour of cheque is a criminal offence punishable under
Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 and that this offence has been
committed by all you Addressees with an intention to cheat and defraud
my client by not making necessary payments as agreed, assured and
guaranteed to my client. It is stated that since the inception of the
transaction you assured my client that of the said cheque would be
honoured, when represented for its realization. It prima facie appears that
since the very inception of the transaction when you were desirous of
availing loan from my client and all through ever since, you had the
intention of cheating my client for the purpose of dishonestly and
fraudulently making wrongful gains at the cost of my client's
victimization.
6. In view of the above circumstances, my client has instructed me to call
upon you the Addressee, which ‘I hereby do, to pay my client a sum Rs.
2,00,00,000, being the total amount of the said dishonoured cheque
within 15 days from the date of receipt of this notice, failing which my
client has given me pre-emptory instructions to initiate appropriate legal
proceedings s deemed necessary against all you addressees, including
but not limited to proceedings under Section 138 of Negotiable
Instrument Act, 1881 entirely at your risk as to cost and consequences
thereof.

Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. Further, please note that this notice

advised legally.
