State Bank Of India vs Union Bank Of India And Others on 4 February, 2025

32. At the first blush, it would appear that it was for the plaintiff- Bank to have scrutinized the draft before clearing it. However, if one goes through Section 131 of the N.I.Act and the judgments of the Supreme Court 13 of 16 ::: Downloaded on - 06-02-2025 05:05:36 ::: Neutral Citation No:=2025:PHHC:016630 RSA-1384-1993 14 in the cases of Kerala State Co-operative Marketing Federation versus State Bank of India and Ors. and Indian Overseas Bank versus Industrial Chain Concern (supra), it would emerge that the defendant-Bank had been negligent in handling the issue. The account in the name of Gurmeet Kaur was opened on 30.01.1980. The demand draft was of 07.02.1980. It was presented to the defendant-Bank on 09.02.1980 and was then sent to the plaintiff-Bank for clearance and was cleared by the plaintiff bank on 09.02.1980 itself. Thereafter, by 12.02.1980, a sum of `69,000/- was withdrawn by Gurmeet Kaur. When the draft was found to be forged, it did not initiate any action either against Gurmeet Kaur or the introducer Surjit Singh Manku. The introducer was not produced in evidence also. No criminal action was initiated. I have, therefore, no hesitation in holding that due care was not taken by the Bank in opening the account.

Varinder Talwar vs Kotak Securities Limited on 28 February, 2023
