https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=300097 Section 633(2) of the Companies Act applies only where an officer has reason to apprehend that proceedings may be brought against him; once a complaint is filed and process is issued, proceedings have commenced and the High Court's jurisdiction under that provision is no longer available. Relief at that stage, if any, must be sought before the court seized of the complaint under Section 633(1), on proof of honesty, reasonableness and fair excusability. A plea that the complaint was time-barred did not change the position because the petition was moved after commencement of proceedings. The decision therefore states that Section 633(2) is confined to apprehended proceedings, not pending criminal complaints. en-us Tue, 11 Oct 1994 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 12 Jan 2022 10:22:34 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=300097 Section 633(2) of the Companies Act applies only where an officer has reason to apprehend that proceedings may be brought against him; once a complaint is filed and process is issued, proceedings have commenced and the High Court's jurisdiction under that provision is no longer available.
