Hi sirs,
Pl guide me on the fact that can a company registered under companies act 1956 defend a civil suit without board resolution authorising its CEO and MD to authorise someone to be legal represantative. or is it necessary for the company to have put on record board resolution/ minutes of meeting/ article of association.
if No is answer for above query then will the suit be decided in favor of plaintiff.

Board resolution is necessary, otherwise court can reject the suit.

It appears that you have not disclosed the facts. Has the suit been dismissed?

no the suit is not dismissed. i filed a recovery suit against a company xyz. to which the company is contesting. this xyz company has not filed board resolution or minutes of meeting or the article of association. so can i ask court to not to give any value to companys pleadings as they are not properly authorised.

Your priority should be on meeting the issues on merits. Has the company filed the Written Statement? Who has affirmed it? In which capacity?

Non filing resolution passed by Board of Directors is irregularity and not illegality.this defect is curable.Suit can not be decreed on such ground.For getting judgment/decree in your ( plai�tiff ) favour,you need to prove your case by cogent evidence.
