However, the complaint should be registered in a magistrate’s court within a month of the expiry of the notice period. It is essential in this case to consult an advocate who is well versed and experienced in this area of practice to proceed further in the matter.

The complaint has to be accompanied by an Affidavit by the Payee or the complainant. The submitted documents and complaints will be examined by the concerned MM in order to confirm the commission of offence. Once the commission is made confirmed, then a summons will be issued for the hearing at the Summary Trial.
