19 March 2009u/s. 224(7), any auditor other than the first auditor may be removed from office by the company before the expiry of term ONLY WITH THE PRIOR PERMISSION OF THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT.
In case of Satyam, the government-appointed board removed PwC. Does this case qualify for contempt of sec. 224(7)?
Was the government appointed board empowered to act in place of CLB / CG while deciding on removal of PwC as auditors?
