But at the time of evidance can not rely on the certified true copy, one should ask to produce original Minute Book of the Company for verification of certuified copy produced. Since many private limited companies does not maintained records of the meetings.

In responce to query raised by Mr. Anil Agrawal for submision of Resolution along with complaint - It is must.
But I wish to confirm my opinion whether we should ask for original Minute Book?
If company in responce to application u/s 91 of Cr. P. C. complainant company say that we have no records and documents in our possession or control . Then what will be the fate of complaint which is not supported by the Statutory Record which company has to maintaned under sec. 209 of the companies Act 1956 ?
