Lillykutty vs Lawrance on 29 August, 2003

Admittedly signature shown in the cheques is that of the drawer but his case is that he had not filled up the cheque. It was alleged that payees name as well as the amounts shown in the cheques are not in the handwriting of the drawer and therefore those might have been filled up by the plaintiff to lay a claim on the cheques signed by the drawer. The question is whether in a case where the payee puts the date in a cheque signed by the drawer, such cheque could be encashed came up for consideration before a Division Bench of this Court to which one of us (Radhakrishnan, J.) was a party in Bhaskaran Chandrasekharan v. Radhakrishnan (1998 (1) KLT 881). The Division Bench held that when a cheque is issued for consideration and there is no dispute regarding signature, amount and name, it cannot be said that by putting a date on the cheque by the payee who is the holder of the cheque in due course would amount to material alteration rendering the instrument void. When cheque is admittedly issued with blank date, and when the drawer has no objection with regard to the name, amount and signature, it can be presumed that there is an implied consent for putting the date as and when required by the payee and get it encashed unless the contrary is proved. The burden is entirely on the drawer of the cheque to establish that the payee had no authority to put the date and amount and then encash the cheque. There are instances where blank cheques are issued to the payee. If any amount is due to the payee from the drawer of the cheque and that amount is shown in the cheque which is admittedly signed by the drawer, the presumption could be drawn that the cheque has been validly issued. An implied consent can be presumed in such a situation. Once a cheque is drawn by a person on an account maintained by the Bank and is returned with the endorsement "funds insufficient", it amounts to dishonour within the meaning of Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Section 138 confirms the presumption provided under Section 118 (a) and 118(g) of the Act.

Laxminivas Agarwal vs Andhra Semi Conductors Pvt. Ltd. And ... on 23 December, 2005

(4) In Bhaskaran Chandrasekharan v. Radhakrishnan 1998 Cri LJ 3228 wherein the Division Bench of the Kerala High Court held when a cheque is issued for valid consideration, with no dispute regarding the signature, amount and name, it cannot be said that putting a date on the cheque by the payee who is the holder of the cheque in due course would amount to material alteration rendering the instrument void. In fact, there is no material alteration. When a cheque is admittedly issued with blank date, and when the payee has no objection with regard to the name, amount and signature, it can be presumed that there is an implied consent for putting the date as and when required by the beneficiary, and get it encashed. In other words, when the date is put by the payee, or the drawer on the cheque the presumptions under Section 118 of the Act would arise. The burden is, therefore, entirely on the drawer of the cheque to establish that the payee had no authority to put the date and encash the cheque. It is further held therein that when the drawer issued cheque as security for loan transaction and there is no dispute regarding the signature, amount and name shown in the cheque, it can be presumed that the cheque was supported by consideration.
