Promoter does not have any right, except as provided in AoA.
However, he will attract liabilities under different provisions of Companies Act, for any breach of duty, mis-statement or negligence. He will attract civil as well as criminal liabilities. Refer Sec 62 and 63 of companies act.
Apart from companies act, SEBI also imposes liability on promoter.

They have to disclaim their liabilities by making proper disclosure as and when they become aware of fraud. Else they will be held liable.

Thank You very much.But I have more question?
Promoter neither participating in Management nor actively engaged in any activity since the incorporation of company? Is he liable throughout the lifecycle of the company and If,yes then why?
And to whom he disclaim his liability?

See ! Companies Act defines the term "Officer in default" in which promoter is not included. The word "Promoter" has not been even defined in the Act. Hence under companies act, he is not liable But SEBI treats promoter liable.
To escape liability, he should give a public notice and even exclude himself to be promoter.
