https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=102467 Consent required under section 399(3) of the Companies Act, 1956 for joining an application under sections 397 and 398 need not be given personally by the member. A general power of attorney holder authorised to manage shares and take legal steps may validly sign and give the consent on the member's behalf, because the statute does not expressly or impliedly require personal execution and the act is not inherently personal. Rule 88 of the Companies (Court) Rules, 1959 only requires annexure of the signed consent letter and does not insist on the member's own signature. The ordinary law of agency therefore applies, and the objection to maintainability fails. en-us Wed, 06 Apr 1994 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 14:48:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=102467 Consent required under section 399(3) of the Companies Act, 1956 for joining an application under sections 397 and 398 need not be given personally by the member.
