I think he is disqualified.

Hi Sri Teja,

I am very happy friend that you reminded me the study days. I am reproducing section 226 as below for your kind reference.

S.226(3) (d)

(3) None of the following persons shall be qualified for appointment as auditor of a company -

 

(d) a person who is indebted to the company for an amount exceeding one thousand rupees, or who has given any
guarantee or provided any security in connection with the indebtedness of any third person to the company for an
amount exceeding one thousand rupees ;
 
If we read this provision as a whole with the intent of the act, he is disqualified u/s.226
