Dishonour of cheque prosecutions require direct involvement by individual officers to impose vicarious liability; independent and non executive directors who lack executive control and pecuniary interest are not in charge of company affairs and cannot be held liable absent specific nexus to the financial transactions, and summons against such directors were quashed.
