Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, affirming that the appellant, as General Manager, was responsible for the conduct of the company's business and thus liable for the dishonor of cheques. The Court clarified that mere non-signature of cheques does not absolve a person from liability if they are in charge of the business. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the revision application was rejected, confirming the lower courts' findings of guilt.
