The Court found that the Ex-Directors had a valid defense for not handing over Share Certificates, as they were awaiting instructions due to the diminished value of the shares. It was determined that there was no willful withholding of certificates causing financial loss, and the Official Liquidator failed to establish the necessary elements to hold the Directors accountable under Section 543. As a result, the application seeking recovery from the Ex-Directors was rejected. en-us Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 17:32:35 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=222139 The Court rejected the Official Liquidator's application under Section 543 of the Companies Act, 1956 against the Ex-Directors of the Company (in liquidation) for alleged breach of trust.
