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. The Court clarified that mere absence of signature on the cheques does not absolve liability if the individual is in charge of the company's affairs. The High Court's dismissal of the revision application was thus upheld, confirming the appellant's culpability in the dishonor of cheques.
