must make a clear statement of fact to enable the Court to arrive at a prima
facie opinion, even if the allegations are that the accused is vicariously
liable. Section 141 of the NI Act raises a legal fiction where a person
although not personally liable for commission of an offence, would be
vicariously liable but before a person can be made vicariously liable, strict
compliance with statutory requirements is to be insisted.
