Everyone who was responsible for overseeing and managing the company's operations at the time the offense was committed; any director, manager, secretary, or other officer of the company whose approval or complicity allowed the section 138 offense to be committed; and
Any Director, Manager, Secretary or other company official whose carelessness caused the company to commit the section 138 offence. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
