https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=105815 Section 630 of the Companies Act, 1956 addresses wrongful retention of company property by present or former employees. Where an employee remains in company accommodation after termination without legal entitlement, inherent jurisdiction may be used to direct restoration of possession despite a pending criminal prosecution under that provision. The relevant considerations include the company's clear entitlement to the property, failure of a challenge to termination, and conduct delaying criminal proceedings. This approach prevents continued withholding of company accommodation and gives effect to the protective purpose of section 630. en-us Tue, 05 Dec 2000 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 10:21:27 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=105815 Section 630 of the Companies Act, 1956 addresses wrongful retention of company property by present or former employees.
