Bills of Exchange Ordinance

Where a bill expressed to be payable at a fixed period after date is issued undated,
            or where the acceptance of a bill payable at a fixed period after sight is undated, any
            holder may insert therein the true date of issue or acceptance, and the bill shall be
            payable
accordingly:
Provided
that—
(a)
where the holder in good faith and by mistake inserts a wrong date;
                    and
(b)
in every case where a wrong date is inserted,
if the bill subsequently comes into the hands of a holder in due course, the bill
            shall not be avoided thereby, but shall operate and be payable as if the date so
            inserted had been the true date.
