Court Acquitted A Kuwaiti Woman Who Was Accused Of Changing The Date Of A Cheque

The Misdemeanor Court acquitted a Kuwaiti woman who was accused of changing the date of a cheque issued to her by a businessperson. According to the case files, the woman was issued a cheque of KD 5,000 for a business transaction. When she went to the bank to collect the money, the cheque bounced. She then filed a case against the businessperson for issuing her a dud cheque. However, the businessperson accused her of intentionally changing the date on the cheque. During the court session, the defense counsel Lawyer Hassan Al-Ajmi denied that his client changed the date on the cheque as it did not have a date. He stressed that there are no bank records that documented the date of the cheque, due to which it is difficult to prove whether or not his client changed the date in order to expedite the maturity of the cheque.
