https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=109079 Section 630 of the Companies Act applies to wrongful withholding of company property by a former employee who obtained possession during service and continues to retain it after employment ends. The text states that continued occupation of company accommodation after termination remains wrongful where the termination is still operative, even if the employee has challenged the termination or the dispute has been referred to labour adjudication. It also records that wrongful withholding is treated as a continuing act and that a narrow reading of "officer or employee" is unwarranted. Criminal prosecution on that basis is therefore maintainable. en-us Thu, 08 Apr 2004 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:47:07 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=109079 Section 630 of the Companies Act applies to wrongful withholding of company property by a former employee who obtained possession during service and continues to retain it after employment ends.
