if you do not signed on this above said cheque then you are not liable to pay the dues of your husband. But as you specified that you are also worked as additional director in the company then the vicarious liability of cheque is also stands on your part. now regarding non bailable warrant do hire a good lawyer and face the hon'ble court.

Your bad. Your husband hastays left you in trouble. Since these were your cheques, you have to defend the case. Hire a lawyer otherwise you will be arrested. Cheque bounce are serious offences. Take care of the case.
