What is Legal Notice Drafting?
A Legal Notice is a formal written communication, drafted and signed by an advocate, sent to the opposing party to formally record a grievance and demand a resolution — payment of dues, vacating a property, or compliance with an obligation — before a court case is filed. For cheque bounce cases specifically, sending a notice within 30 days of the cheque being dishonoured is a mandatory legal requirement under the Negotiable Instruments Act.
"The payee or the holder in due course... makes a demand for the payment of the said amount of money by giving a notice in writing, to the drawer of the cheque, within thirty days of the receipt of information by him from the bank regarding the return of the cheque as unpaid." — Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, Section 138(b)
