Legal Question in Banking Law in Pakistan
Some one had stolen my open check for Rs.500,000/- duly signed by me and deposited in his bank account. The culprit's bank collected proceeds of cheque through clearing as my bank cleared that cheque which was having my genuine signature. I approached to the culprit's bank asking them to provide details of their account holder who stolen my cheque and got its proceeds from them but in reply i was informed that for having their account holder info i would have to bring Court order as per Criminal procedure Code 1898. Please advise whether culprit's bank is right in doing this and what i have to do to obtain information of their account holder who stolen my cheque and fraudulently withdrew my money.

obtaining information of the beneficiary of the cheque from drawee bank is not the solution of your problem... immediately take legal action by filling a police complaint.
Yes bank is justified.. Legal action is immediately required otherwise the person using the cash is not a culprit.. For more do consult at [email protected]
