Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

What is the significance of the ''date of transaction''? If the

resigned before the cheque bounced, is he liable to be

prosecuted?

The facts given in your statement may not be sufficient to answer your question.

If the Director concerned was signatory on the cheque, he may still be liable despite resignation.

the resignation of the director before bouncing of cheque may not provide protection from prosecution.

Re: N.I. Act

If director is signatory, no escape. In other matters, depends on the nature of post i.e. executive or non-executive, date of cheque etc.
