i need provisions relating to following situation in the companies act,1956 i.e. sec no. and also case laws if any.
situation is:
5 members have formed a private ltd company and subscribed capital. they have opened bank account for the company. they have entered into agreement with one real estate agent and transferred the funds from the company bank account for the purchase of land. Agreeement was finalised and land was purchased but it was registered in the personal names of directors instead of company name.
This is the problem now. i know it is prohibited under companies act but i do not know under what sec it was prohibited.
Please help me out to sort out this issue. suggest the ways if any to make directors come out of this issue. it would be helpful if someone can quote case laws also.
