The Tribunal held that it cannot be said simply because the travellers cheques were countersigned that they were intended for illegal sale. If the appellant intend to sell the same illegally, it was easier for him not to sign these cheques at all, for in any case the buyer would be required to countersign the same at the time of their presentation. We are not able to accept this view. Inadvertently passengers may sign the travellers cheques on both sides. We cannot rule out such human errors. But 30 passengers signing inadvertently at the same time is too big a pill to swallow.
