Signatures on cheque not disputed-Cheque to be taken as validly drawn, the fact that the body of the cheque was not filled up by accused himself is no defence in itself


Quick Summary
This judgement clarifies that a cheque is considered validly drawn even if the body of the cheque was not filled out by the person who signed it. The High Court ruled that the signature on the cheque is the crucial element, and the fact that someone else filled in the details does not invalidate the cheque. Therefore, an accused cannot use the defence that they did not fill the cheque's body to avoid liability.

Court :
HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH

Brief :
In the present case, much less to speak of any process alien to law being adopted by the Courts below, as stated above, this Court does not find even any illegality or perversity in the orders passed by the Courts below. Hence, the present petition is, otherwise also, not maintainable.
