A careful study of Sec 63 and 65 of the Evidence Act is sufficient to resolve your query. There is no problem. Simply ask the Bank official to depose and they would confirm the transaction through cheque.The situation would further improve if the accused person does not dispute the existence of the said cheque either.

Good luck.

 your case is very weak if other side stand on the INSTRUMENT i.e CHEQUE it self is not presented as evidence.

in fact the record of bank transaction is sufficient apart from the F.I.R registered related to the missing of original documents..you have to establish that the particular no.of cheque of  particular person was dishonoured.

best of luck
