https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=98355 Statutory liability for recovery of unpaid amounts from directors under section 86D of the Indian Companies Act, 1913 survives against a deceased director's legal representatives unless the statute expressly makes the remedy personal. Section 235 provides a limited winding-up procedure for misfeasance and repayment or contribution; it does not exclude the company's general right to sue former directors under section 86D. The legal representatives could therefore be brought on record and the suit remained maintainable against the deceased director's estate. Sufficient cause for delay in seeking substitution and setting aside abatement was accepted, as the lower court's discretionary finding disclosed no jurisdictional error. en-us Thu, 22 Sep 1966 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:37:59 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=98355 Statutory liability for recovery of unpaid amounts from directors under section 86D of the Indian Companies Act, 1913 survives against a deceased director's legal representatives unless the statute expressly makes the remedy personal.
