Issues: Whether the company petition was maintainable when the Company Secretary who instituted it and deposed for the petitioner had no proved authority from the Board.
Analysis: Section 291 of the Companies Act, 1956 vests the powers of a company in its Board of Directors, and Rule 21 of the Companies (Court) Rules, 1959 requires a company petition to be verified by a duly authorised officer. No Board resolution or other material was produced to show that the Company Secretary was authorised to institute the petition or to affirm the affidavit on behalf of the company. In the absence of proof of authority, the petition could not be treated as validly instituted.
Conclusion: The issue was decided against the petitioner and in favour of the respondent; the company petition was not maintainable.
