NOTICE (REGISTERED A.D.)
To
Shri M..........D............S.............
At/PO Kawathe Bk.,
Taluka Akole,
District AHMEDNAGAR. 
Sir,
Under instructions from and on behalf of my client, Dr. KKT, of Shubhashree Hospital, Kothrud, Pune 411 029, I have to address you as follows:
1. That you had been admitted to my client's hospital as a patient on 1 5th June 200.., and you were treated there till the end of the month, and during this period, my client had also called the other doctors to treat you.
2. That you were to pay a sum of Rs. 12,000/- to cover the nursing bill of my client, and since you had no cash in hand, you issued a cheque for that amount, bearing No. 0420, dated 30th June 200.., drawn on the Ahmednagar District Cooperative Bank Limited, Akole Branch.
3. That however, when the said cheque was presented by my client to his bankers for the payment, the same was dishonoured by the Bank for want of necessary funds.
4. That since then, my client had time and again calling upon you to make the payment of the bill, but so far, you have not paid any amount to my client.
5. That at the time of issuing the said cheque, you had represented to my client that there was sufficient funds in your Bank account, and thus, you have clearly cheated my client.
6. Than in the mean time, the other members of your family had also been promising my client to make the payment, but now it appears and proves beyond doubt that you are determined to defraud my client.
7. That you are, therefore, hereby called upon to make the payment to my client of the said amount of Rs. 12,000/- together with interest @ 15% p. a. thereon from 30th June 200.. to this date WITHIN TEN DAYS from the receipt of this notice, failing which my client will be constrained to take against you an appropriate criminal as well as civil action, which please note. 
8. That you are also hereby called upon to please note its very seriously that dishonour of cheque amounts to a criminal offence under the provisions of the Negotiable Instruments Act, and you will also be liable for The same.
9. That as the adamant and illegal behaviour on your part has necessitated this notice, you are hereby charged with its costs, i.e. Rs. 1.000/- , which please further note.

Yours faithfully,
(A. S. AVHAD)
