The cheque marked or crossed as not negotiable means it can not be endorsed to other person the bank will credit the proceeds of the instrument to the payees account only.
In case of a bearer cheque can be negotiated to other person provided he got the instrument in return of lawful consideration. For example Mr.X finds a signed blank bearer cheque on the road assuming that the cheque validity period is not expired then he writes the name of Mr.X and endorses or simply hands over it to Mr.Y to whom he owes Rs 1,000/- in this case Mr.X can not give better title to Mr.Y since Mr X has not got the cheque for lawful consideration
If Mr.Y believing that Mr.X has obtained the cheque from the drawer genuinely then Mr.Y is holder in due course (HDC)
