Cheque bounce case: Udupi bus driver asked to pay penalty

 

Udupi, 03 Aug 2016: The Udupi court has imposed a penalty of Rs 15,000 to bus owner in a cheque bounce case.

 

A private bus owner identified as Kalmadi Satish had taken a loan of Rs.45, 000 from Suresh. However, the cheque given for repayment bounced. Hence Suresh filed a case against Satish in the court.
