Issues: Whether the criminal complaint disclosed the requisite factual foundation to prosecute the petitioner as a director under Section 141 of the Negotiable Instruments Act and whether the proceedings were liable to be quashed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
Analysis: The complaint contained no substantive allegations against the petitioner except a general statement that the accused were in charge of the management and affairs of the company. For fastening vicarious liability under Section 141 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, the complaint must contain specific averments showing that, at the time of the offence, the accused was in charge of and responsible for the conduct of the business of the company. The materials also showed that the petitioner had resigned before the relevant statutory steps following dishonour, and the complaint did not otherwise furnish the factual basis necessary to proceed against him. In the absence of the essential averments, the prosecution could not be sustained.
Conclusion: The complaint failed to satisfy the requirements for vicarious liability under Section 141 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, and the proceedings were liable to be quashed in so far as the petitioner was concerned.
