Article (401)
Detention or a fine shall be imposed upon anyone who, in bad faith, gives a draft (cheque) without a sufficient and drawable balance or who, after giving a cheque, withdraws all or part of the balance, making the balance insufficient for settlement of the cheque, or if he orders a drawee not to cash a cheque or makes or signs the cheque in a manner that prevents it from being cashed. The same penalty shall apply to any one who endorses a cheque in favor of another or gives him a bearer draft, knowing that there is no sufficient balance to honor the cheque or that it is not drawable. Note that the penalty will be prison for a year.
With attention to the entry into force of the penal order is the replacement of the punishment of imprisonment with a financial fine here the law gave the right to the creditor or the complainant to establish a civil suit and claim the value of indebtedness through a civil lawsuit and does not mean payment of the fine end of the case but the purpose of payment is to exempt you from imprisonment In case the bank has set up a lawsuit, you must apply for installment payments for the accumulated amounts and lose your personal abilities and to pay them in monthly installments. Therefore, in the event of a lawsuit before the court, you can apply for installment payments and payments according to your financial ability to avoid imprisonment.
With attention to the payment of the fine on the check does not mean your acquittal, but it is for the owner of the check to file a civil suit and claim the value and the fine is a replacement of the imprisonment penalty
