A company enters into a contract with the help of one of its directors and promises that director to pay him commission as and when money is earned by the company under the said contract. After the company earns, it accordingly pays the commission to its director vide a cheque which gets bounced. Now in such a case can that director file a case u/s 138 NI Act against its own company and other directors. Also can such a suing director leave our the Managing Director from the purview of such criminal case u/s 138?
