Reported in: (1995)LC584Tri(Mum.)bai

1. This application has been moved for clarifying to the Department the contents of the Order No. 214-15/93-WRB dated 27-10-1993 of this Bench, under which their appeal as well as stay application were disposed of by directing the Collector (Appeals) to hear the applicants on their stay application and thereafter if he chooses to grant stay, decide on the appeal itself. In other words, their appeal was allowed by way of remand in the above terms. Notwithstanding this order, it is now reported by the applicants that the department has construed that there is no stay in operation against the demand confirmed by the Assistant Collector and hence they were directed to pay up the amount, failing which coercive action would be taken. In this context, Shri M.H. Patil, the Ld. Advocate referred to the Supdt's letter dated 24-11-1993.2. After hearing both the sides, when the appeal itself has been disposed of by way of remand with a direction to the Collector (Appeals) for deciding on the stay...

M.F. Saldanha, J. 1. One more dimension concerning the ambit and scope of section 630 of the Companies Act, 1956, has been canvassed in this case. The issue is briefly summarized in the question as to whether the criminal action contemplated under section 630 of the Companies Act for retrieval of company property or premises wrongfully withheld is maintainable against the legal heirs of a deceased employee. More exactly, the two possible situations that are illustrated are, firstly, where the employee has died in service and the legal heirs wrongfully withhold possession of the premises, and, secondly, where the employee himself, who has wrongfully withheld the premises, dies during the pendency of the section 630 proceedings and the legal heirs continue to wrongfully withhold the premises. Having regard to the fact that section 630 of the Companies Act, 1956, refers to action only against officers/employees of a company which as now clarified by the Supreme Court necessarily includes ...
