Validity of cheque given by ex-partner


09-Aug-2024 (In Cheque Bounce Law)
I lent money to a partnership involving my wife. Funds were transferred from my personal account. To secure the loan, I got a blank cheque from the firm. A bank merger invalidated the cheque. I requested a replacement, but it was only signed by my wife. She later left the partnership. Remaining partners refuse repayment. Can I use Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act against them by depositing the wife-signed cheque?
