“6. Section 20 of the Financial Institutions (Recovery of
Finances) Ordinance, 2001 is the provision relating to
certain offences and its sub-section (4) deals with
dishonest issuance of a cheque towards repayment of a
finance or fulfillment of an obligation which is
dishonoured on presentation. The punishment of said
offence has been provided as one year or with fine or
with both. Therefore, it becomes quite obvious that in
the matter, like the one in hand, the jurisdiction only
lies with the Banking court established under the
Financial Institutions (Recovery of Finances)
Ordinance, 2001 and not before any other court, until
and unless the same is provided by law, by which the
financial institution is established.”
