The earlier view excluding relatives of an erstwhile employee was displaced by the Supreme Court's ruling recognising the provision's application in such circumstances. The High Court treated maintainability as established and held that a dispute over whether the property belonged to the company raised a factual issue for trial, not for quashing proceedings.
