https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=348987 For liability under Section 141 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, a complaint need only contain the basic averment that the accused was, at the relevant time, in charge of and responsible for the conduct of the business of the firm or company. Specific particulars of individual role are not indispensable if that essential averment is present. A challenge under Section 482 CrPC will succeed only where unimpeachable material shows the accused could not have been concerned with the transaction and that continuation of proceedings would be an abuse of process. A plea that the accused was merely a sleeping partner and lacked knowledge of the transaction was treated as a defence for trial, not a ground for quashing. The process was therefore sustained. en-us Wed, 06 Sep 2017 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 09:43:06 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=348987 For liability under Section 141 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, a complaint need only contain the basic averment that the accused was, at the relevant time, in charge of and responsible for the conduct of the business of the firm or company.
