2. The defendant abovenamed issued a cheque No on
dated for a sum of Rs
3. The said cheque was presented by the defendant on to
the plaintiff bank for collection.
4. In due course of business the said cheque was sent to for
collection by post.
5. In the meantime, the defendant requested the plaintiff bank to
Advance Rs _____________being the proceeds of the said cheque
and the plaintiff bank, in good faith, allowed the defendant to
withdraw the amount covered by the cheque on
6. On the enquiries made by the plaintiff bank, the Lord Krishna Bank,
Trichi, by letter dated , informed the plaintiff bank that the said cheque was never received by them.
It is apparent that the cheque so sent was lost in transit.
In view of the above contingent situation, the plaintiff bank requested to issue another cheque in lieu of the lost cheque, but the defendant refused to do so.
It is amply clear from the facts mentioned above that the cheque in question was lost due to circumstances beyond the control of the plaintiff bank and not owing to any willful default, neglect or laches on the part of the said bank.
10. It is further assured that the lost cheque, if and when traced out, the plaintiff bank shall produce the same before this Hon'ble Court.
