Rule returnable forthwith and heard by consent. 2 Petitioner states that the cheque on which the complainant relies was a blank cheque amongst twelve blank cheques issued to the complainant. Signature on the cheque is not disputed, but other contents are denied. wp906.09 -2- 3 The defence which is amply disclosed is that on the date when the cheque was dishonoured any liability did not exist. 4 Nothing precludes the petitioner from proving what he intends, and if he succeeds in proving that no civil liability existed he may secure an acquittal. 5 Therefore, reference of cheque for opinion of hand writing expert turns out to be a ritual. 6 Petition has no merit and is dismissed. Rule is discharged. *****
