Broad averments that the director and others approached the complainant, represented the company, sought time for repayment, and were actively involved in the company's affairs were held sufficient at the threshold. The Court emphasised that meticulous scrutiny is not undertaken at the quashing stage; whether the statutory requirements are ultimately proved is a matter for trial.
