Directors cannot singly obtain quashment of criminal proceedings originating from the company for offences under the Negotiable Instruments Act where the company is the primary offender; vicarious liability attaches to persons who at the time of the offence were in charge of and responsible for the conduct of the company's business, and absence of company impleadment renders director-only petitions for quashment not maintainable.
