https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=111652 Official Liquidator's claim for recovery under section 543 of the Companies Act, 1956 failed because misfeasance, misconduct, or breach of duty by the ex-directors was not proved. The analysis noted that the claim depended mainly on balance-sheet entries, but no independent material established specific wrongdoing by each respondent. It was also relevant that the company's assets had been taken over by KSIIDC under section 29 of the State Financial Corporations Act, 1951, so mere non-recovery of dues from debtors did not by itself show wrongful conduct or loss caused to the company. The issue was therefore decided against the Official Liquidator and in favour of the respondents. en-us Thu, 31 Aug 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 15:26:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=111652 Official Liquidator's claim for recovery under section 543 of the Companies Act, 1956 failed because misfeasance, misconduct, or breach of duty by the ex-directors was not proved.
