but why PIL. you can ask the board to call eogm. However dispute between partner of audit firm not materially affect the company unless some fraud is taken place.if you notice the the audit report is sign by only one partner. in my veiw is is difficult to get redressal from PIL.

PIL is not possible. ICAI Act has sufficient safegaurds to see that the Reporting of the Firm is done as per ICAI regulations, so there ends the matter.
