Then it was claimed and said that the said amount had been deposited in the Bank and he issued a Cheque bearing No.LO-2799039 in respect of Account No.29976-9 on 22-8-2007. However, when the petitioner presented the same before the Bank, the concerned official of the Bank informed him that there was no amount in the Bank in the name of respondent No.1. The petitioner again approached respondent No.1 for the return of the money and on his direction he approached the Bank of the return of the amount on 23-8-2007 but the same was not given to him and the Bank informed him in writing about the insufficiency of the funds.
