Query: in title of holder in due course example, sajid delivered bearer bill of exchange to hamid, but sbp restricts to issue bearer bill of exchange on demand, so is this valid bill of exchange?

Response: Yes. Section 35 of SBP Act invalidates the issue of bill of exchange payable to bearer on demand. 

In this example: 

1. bill is being delivered (not being issued for the first time)

2. bill is not payable on demand (just payable to bearer)
