Blank cheques signed by employee of firm who was past partner of firm

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

What you have mentioned in the question, can be stated by you in your defence: that you are no more a partner; that you are not responsible for any activities of the firm; that you are only an employee; that all liabilities had been accepted by the other partner; that you had been asked to sign the blank cheques and they were misused by the other partner; etc.

You should not have signed blank cheques. And, it is not clear whether you signed on blank cheques as a partner or as an employee. You’ll have to prove the case on merits of the facts.
