If you enlarge your 'N'used in NI ACT ,it will read 'negotiable'. A ''cheque" is an negotiable instrument that is why P could pass it by endorsement to R ,though issued by Z.
Hence R can initiate proceedings against Z u/s 138 NI ACT in case cheque issued by Z bounces on presentation.

ONCE CHEQUE ISSUED TO WHO EVER THAT INSTRUMENT SHOULD BE PASSED UNLESS THE RECEIVER OF THE CHEQUE WILL SUE AGAINST THE ISSUED PERSON

R can sue the Z. R has to prove that the Z has issued the cheque in discharge of subsisting liability in favour of P and the said cheque is endorsed to R. Liability has to be proved at any cost.

First indicate whether the cheque in question is a bearer cheque or account payee cheque in favour of "P". If it was an account payee cheque, whether "P" endorsed the same in favour of "R".
Only after knowing the details, it will be possible to give an appropriate answer.
Please also indicate the date of the cheque.
