How Many Times a Cheque can be Presented

“ A cheque can be presented any number of times during the period of its validity by payee. On each presentation of the cheque and its dishonour a fresh right – and not cause of action – accrues in his favour. He may, therefore, without taking pre-emptory action in exercise of his such right under Cl (b) of Sec. 138, go on presenting the cheque so as to enable him to exercise such right at any point of time during the validity of the cheque.”
