Legal Perspective on Cheque Signing - In the context of companies or individuals, the 'drawer' of a cheque is the person who signs it from the account from which funds are drawn. A person cannot sign a cheque unless they are authorized and the cheque is issued from their account. The act of signing signifies authorization to draw funds, and signatures must match the authorized signatory Lyka Labs Limited VS State of Maharashtra - Bombay, P.

Signing a cheque requires proper authority, typically granted to designated signatories such as the President or Vice President in Panchayats, or authorized individuals in companies. The validity of a cheque hinges on correct signatures, absence of forgery, and adherence to procedural requirements like signatures from all joint account holders. Unauthorized or forged signatures can lead to criminal liability, and courts emphasize that the signatory's authority and proper signing procedures are essential for the enforceability of cheques Ammanambakkam Panchayat VS D.
