Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881
50. Effect of endorsement
The endorsement of a negotiable instrument followed by delivery
transfers to the endorsee the property therein with the right of further
negotiation, but the endorsement may by express words, restrict or exclude such
right, or may merely constitute the endorsee an agent to endorse the
instrument, or to receive its contents for the endorser, or for some other
specified person.
