Neeta Bhalla, <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/4f4WP13o\">(2007) 4 SCC 70<\/a>, had made the signatory of the cheque responsible under Section 141(2) of the NI Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Plea that the cheque had been reported \u2018lost\u2019, it was for the petitioner to prove the same. He would have also gotten an opportunity to cross-examine the Bank Officials to establish that they had an obligation to have refused honouring the cheque on the ground that the cheque had been reported \u2018lost\u2019 by the drawer, to get the benefit of the decision in <em>Raj Kumar Khurana v. State of (NCT of Delhi),<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/YNxxcg6X\">(2009) 6 SCC 72<\/a>. Hence, the trial Court was right in holding that the loss of cheque could be ascertained only during trial.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, since there was no error or perversity in the impugned order, no interference was called for by this Court in exercise of its inherent powers under Section 482 CrPC.
