Can some one explain the meaning of section 46 of negotiable instrument act (in below image)
Answers (2)
This means that when the negotiable instrument is endorsed / delivered conditionally or for a special purpose, , absolute property in the instrument will not pass to the transferee, except where the transferee is holder in due course. Eg: Cheque endorsed with a condition it should not be enchased untill some event. Now, if it is encashed by any holder prior to the event, he/she will be liable to return money except if it is encashed by holder in due course.
