https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=281484 Corporate prosecution for cheque dishonour under the Negotiable Instruments Act does not depend on simultaneous prosecution of directors or other persons responsible for the company's business. Section 141 imposes liability on the company and on persons in charge of, and responsible for, its business at the time of the offence, but does not make proceedings against the company conditional on prosecuting those individuals. Requirements for specific averments when prosecuting a director or partner concern individual vicarious liability and do not affect the maintainability of a complaint against the company. The company may therefore be prosecuted despite non-prosecution of its director or other officers. en-us Fri, 01 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 20 Jun 2019 17:50:36 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=281484 Corporate prosecution for cheque dishonour under the Negotiable Instruments Act does not depend on simultaneous prosecution of directors or other persons responsible for the company's business.
