Whether a Cheque is equivalent to Money:

"A cheque in strict sense, is an order or request for payment until the cheque is honoured or cleared and the amount on it paid, it is not money.
A cheque is an instrument of payment which metamorphosis into physical cash on due presentation at the bank. It is not money until it is honoured and paid."
