So B to whom Sheques were given deposited the Cheques at Y. Branch. Banker of the Y. informed her to deposit the said Cheques to Z. from where those cheques were returned. So becuase B was living in the jurisdiction at Y. He filed complain there but after giving the Judgment in above mentioned cheque. A the accussed argued before the court that said cheque was returned from Z. So the matter should be transfered to Z. So Complainant B argued before the court that Cheques which have been given to her belongs to Y. Branch therefore it need not to be transferred. is it right?
