As per the new amendments to the said law, the beneficiary shall have the right to claim the amount of the cheque or its remaining amount directly without the need to go through the litigation stages.

The jurisdiction for such a procedure shall be held by the court in whose circuit the drawer (the issuer of the cheque) resides.

The cheque execution procedures may result in serious orders against the drawer/the cheque issuance, including but not limited to, imposing a travel ban, attachment on the properties or bank accounts, and vehicles.
