s 254

If the payee of a Government cheque notifies the officer who issued it that the cheque has been lost or mislaid before payment, the officer who issued the cheque should instruct the bank on which it is drawn to stop payment. After "Stop action" has been confirmed by the bank, the officer should see that the cheque has not been dt;bited to the bank account in the period up to and including the date of such confirmation. A fresh cheque may then be issued.
