Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's petition for quashing a complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, stating that the appellant, as a former director, could still be held liable for the company's actions during her tenure. The Court clarified that the liability under Section 138 extends to directors who were in charge of the company at the time the offence was committed. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
