Dishonour of cheque - vicarious liability in criminal law - The SC interpreted Section 7 of the NI Act to identify the "drawer" as the individual issuing the cheque, establishing the drawer's primary obligation u/s 138 to maintain sufficient funds. The argument that directors or authorized signatories should be liable u/s 143A misinterprets statutory language and intent. The general rule against vicarious criminal liability underscores that individuals are not typically liable for others' acts unless specific provisions extend such liability.
