Check Bet
========
What are possible moments when Check Bet option should not be given to a player when he is on bet? What rules need to be implemented to avoid any misuse of check bet? ( A player who dont have enough chips even to bet/ call bet but is using check bet option to avoid his bets, is that possible?)

Is there any Cap option in poker to avoid unusal checks?

Mandeep,

If there is a bet to a player, he can not use a check as one of his options now. He can either call the bet, raise the bet, or fold. If he can't cover the full amount, he is still entitled to call whatever he has left and if he wanted to make the bet himself, he could also just put in whatever he had left even if it wasn't the complete amount. There is no check/bet option. There is a check/call option but calling and betting are two different things. Betting means that you were the one that initiated the bet (first to bet), where calling means that you were calling somebody elses bet in front of you. But if the action is to you and noone has bet as of yet, then you have the option now to either check it along with them or put in a bet yourself.

There are no capped checking in poker.....only capped betting. If everyone checks on every round, then you are allowed to check as well. There's no rule stating that you can not check....you just can't check it if you're faced with a bet though.
