Vicarious liability of directors under the Negotiable Instruments framework was affirmed, with the court applying the statutory presumption in favor of the complainant where cheques bore the director's signature, making a prima facie case for prosecution at the summoning stage; consequence: summoning orders not quashed.

The High Court also rejected parallel forum approach and abuse of process by petitioners, noting inherent jurisdiction should be exercised sparingly when revisional remedies exist.
