Honda City ZX
Stopping payment on cheque

I had sold my 10 month old Honda City ZX to BAS Engg Pvt Ltd, a Honda Authorised dealer from whom I had purchased the car. The delivery was taken on 6/03 by BAS engg. and a delivery certificate stating that the car was in good order and condition was given by BAS. This was done after the car was previously inspected by Company representatives and the car was found to be to their satisfction. A cheque No.012192 drawn on Kotak Mahindra Bank, Kasturba Gandhi Marg, CP, New Delhi dated 03/03 was also handed over to me which I duly deposited with my bank.

To my chagrin, Bas came the next day to say that its customer was not accepting the car as it had some defects. Withhout even informing me they stopped payment on the Cheque issued in my favour WHILE AT THE SAME TIME RETAINING POSSESSION OF MY CAR WITH ALL ITS PAPERS INCLUDING THE TRANSFER PAPERS. Under the circumstances, I was left with no alternative but to agree to take back my car. WHAT IS MORE BAS HAD ALSO TAKEN A TOKEN ADVANCE FROM ITS PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER, and I am not sure of his fate.

It is most unprofessional and unethical on the part of a big company like Honda's dealer to behave in this unilateral manner. Can some action be taken?
