From disclosure point of view, separate entry is preferred to consolidated entry.

You cannot debit and credit bank account because there have been no transactions with the bank.

You can very well debit and credit the bank account. For a fraction of second might be, you had been the owner of the cheque. ( Basically try to understand that the query is purely theorotical) Practically NO BANK in INDIA accepts CHEQUE endorsement.
