sayedrizwan, this law, as I have heard, was implemented because some people in Qatar use post-dated cheques as a way to "pay" with the intention never to pay. There is no point of prosecuting the drawer, you got it wrong.

On the other hand, what pisses me off, is that the law does not protect people who pay regular rent and car payments this way AND no new system for that was implemented!! I absolutely agree with Happygolucky that they should have made them return the cheques at least those that say "rent" or "car payment". OR not to apply this law on cheques issued before May 13!!!
