SC held that a complaint under the Negotiable Instruments Act is maintainable against a trustee who signs a cheque that is dishonoured, without necessity to array the trust as an accused. The Court reiterated that persons occupying offices entitling them to control daily conduct-by virtue of designation-fall within s.141, NI Act, and that the signatory to a dishonoured cheque is criminally liable under s.141.
