Subject : CHEQUE DISHONOURED PRESENTED BY THIRD PARTY
Question : NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENT. A BANK CHEQUE HAS BEEN ISSUED IN FAVOUR X BY Y (ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE FIRM). IN TURN X ENDORSED THE CHEQUE FOR PAYMENT TO Z. NOW Z IS THE OWNER FOR THE PAYMENT. AT THIS POINT, CHEQUE WAS PRESENTED BY Z AND WHICH WAS DISHONORED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT FUNDS. IS IT POSSIBLE TO SEEK JUSTICE FROM THE COURT THROUGH FILING A SUIT BY Z ON Y (OGINIAL ISSUER OF THE CHEQUE) TO GET PAYMENT ORDERS.
Answer by Sajith Paul Mathew : In this case Z has to prove that he has got an legally recoverable claim against Y for getting a favorable result. More over in the above question it stated that Y has issued the cheque in favour of X. So as far as Z is totally stranger to Y. If Y through a written consent agrees to take up the liability of X towards Z, then Z can proceed against Y by filing a suit for money alone and no S.138 proceedings will stand against by Y.
