This query is : Resolved
Dear all, please share your opinions on following points-
1) If a propritor of a trading firm is convicted of any offence under any sections of IPC (offence not relared to his firm), Can he still be the propritor and run the business?
2) Can a minor becone a propritor of a firm ? If yes, how?
3) Can an advocate become a partner of a trading firm? (sleeping partner)
4) If a propritor of a firm wants to delegate his day to day business work to be handled by an advocate, is it possible? ( issuing of cheques, signing on invoices and on chequebooks, entering into contract on behalf of firm etc.)

If the Proprietor is Convicted he could appoint a Power of Attorney who could take care of every thing even Bank a/c and Cheques in his absence.Minor can not be a Proprietor,An advocate If wishes to handle his day to day business the Advocate has to Inform BCI properly and stop practising.

Are you proprietor, lawyer, minor, a partner, a convicted criminal or a student? How you are related with the issue and what exactly is the issue?
