Petitioner having delivered the cheque in respect of a personal liability, cannot be absolved merely because the petitioner issued a cheque in the name of his proprietorship firm of which he is the proprietor – Ashish Verma Vs. Parmod Kumar – Delhi High Court
Hon’ble Delhi High Court held that since a ‘proprietary concern’ is not a separate entity from the ‘proprietor’, it may not be necessary to array ‘proprietary concern’ separately in the facts and circumstances of the case, since the liability incurred by the petitioner is in the personal capacity. Petitioner having delivered the cheque in respect of a personal liability, cannot be absolved merely because the petitioner issued a cheque in the name of his firm ‘Verma Computers’ of which he is the ‘proprietor’ and has not been impleaded as an accused.
