It could not be extended to criminal proceedings arising from alleged Indian Penal Code offences such as conspiracy, forgery, cheating and falsification of records, because those offences fall outside the statutory scheme of the Companies Act. On that basis, the High Court declined to interdict the pending investigation, and relief under section 633(2) was refused. en-us Fri, 27 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 11:39:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=113533 Section 633(2) of the Companies Act, 1956 was held to provide protection only against proceedings for negligence, default, breach of duty, misfeasance or breach of trust connected with an officer's functions under that Act.
