Cheque Dishonour and Offence by Company : Supreme Court Explains the Legal Position
"The provisions of S. 141 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 impose vicarious liability by deeming fiction which presupposes and requires the commission of the offence by the company or firm. Therefore, unless the company or firm has committed the offence as a principal accused, the persons mentioned in sub-section (1) or (2) would not be liable and convicted as vicariously liable."
