The provision was applied purposively as a beneficent remedy intended to protect company assets and secure speedy recovery from wrongful retention. The right to occupy or retain allotted company property was treated as co-terminous with employment and as ending on cessation of service, including death. Legal heirs and representatives claiming through the deceased derive no independent entitlement from the company and cannot resist recovery on that basis. en-us Tue, 21 Mar 1995 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 16:05:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=102713 Proceedings under section 630 of the Companies Act, 1956 are maintainable against the legal heirs of a deceased employee or officer when they continue to withhold company property.
