Under Section 141 of the N.I.Act it is clearly stated "Provided that nothing contained in this sub-section shall render any person liable to punishment if he proves that the offence was committed without his knowledge, or that he had exercised all due diligence to prevent the commission of such offence." So you agitate all these points during cross-examination, during 313 Cr.P.C and also by giving defence witness. It is a good case for acquittal. Moreover the existence of libility, which is now must has not been proved in this case. so there is nothing to worry. For further help you can contact me at my no. 09143176197.
