Respected Sir's,
I was an employee(Designation - Senior Accountant) in a company. That time on all the purchase orders was signed by myself. Our company issued cheque to the party but cheque got bounced. The party filed a case u/s 138 in April-2021 against our company including me but i left the job in December-2020. They mentioned me as accused No.4.
How an employee is responsible for paying company dues or why they are involving me.
Two hearings already done but no one present from my previous company and I also not present for hearing. Now the case status is for Summon.
What should i have to do in this situation??
Please help.
Since you have stated to have signed the subject cheque, you are liable to be prosecuted.
Search and engage a local prudent lawyer to contest / defend yourself.
