The dealership contacts its lawyer and sends a legal notice to the issuer. This notice should contain all the relevant information about the transaction. The negotiable monetary instrument act protects dealers from this kind of situation. If the issuer does not reply in court's stipulated time, he can be arrested and charged to court. If the offender still doesn't appear in court or is found guilty by the court, he can be sentenced to up to two years in prison. Or, asked to pay a fine of up to twice the initial cheque amount.
