The argument that the cheque in question has been misused after the same was stolen, cannot be the basis for quashing of the complaint, especially in the light of the fact that the cheque is dated 25th February 2005 and was presented before the complaint regarding stolen cheque was reported on 29th April 2005, which is fairly accepted by the Counsel during the arguments. : 2 : 2.
