Hi

Dear Customer,                                                        

Thanks for joining and trusting us, much appreciated!

We would like to inform you that you have to get statement about the cheque that it is without balance, then file report in the police against that person, and they will take the legal procedures against him and punish him by prison and fine as the article 401 from the UAE Penal Code states the below:

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.

The criminal case shall be terminated if it is paid or waived after the occurrence of the crime and before the dismissal by a final judgment. If this happens after the judgment has been made, the execution shall cease.
