M a broker draws a cheque in favour of N, a minor. N indorses the cheque in favour of O, who in turn indorses it in favour of P. Subsequently, the bank dishonoured the cheque. State the rights of O and P and whether N, can be made liable?
According to section 26 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 a minor may draw, indorse,
deliver and negotiate a negotiable instrument to bind all parties except himself. Therefore, O and P cannot claim from B, who being a minor does not incur any liability on the cheque. O can claim payment from M, the Drawer, only and P can claim against O, the indorser and M, the drawer.
