In cases involving bounced cheques, a denial of signatures can be an effective defence, but it depends on the specifics of the case. Here’s a general outline of how it might work:
Verification of Signature: If the accused denies his signature on cheque, he would need to provide evidence that the signature is not his own. This typically involves forensic handwriting analysis to prove that the signature is a forgery.
Burden of Proof: The burden of proof usually lies with the complainant that the cheque is valid. He needs to prove that the cheque is genuine and that the accused’s signature is authentic.
Presentation of Evidence: The accused can challenge the authenticity of the signature by presenting evidence, such as expert testimony from a handwriting expert or other evidence showing that the cheque was forged.
Other Defences: In addition to denying the signature, there may be other defences available, such as proving that the cheque was not issued for a valid consideration, that the cheque was altered, or that it was issued under duress or coercion.
The effectiveness of this defence can vary based on the strength of the evidence and the legal framework in the jurisdiction where the case is being heard.
