Will section 297 of the Companies Act, 1956 have to be complied with in case a Public Company proposes to enter into a contract for purchase, sale,supply of goods, materials or services with a Sole Proprietorship firm of which the Director of the Company/or his relative is a proprietor??????
Section 297 covers a firm in which the Director of the Company/or his relative is a partner or any partner of such firm but whether proprietorship firm is covered??????

If you see in realty the contract would be between the director and the relative only as the proprietor is the relative and hence it will covever proprietorship also.
