Dear Neeta,

 

In my opinion, sec 297 will not be applicable in the above case..

 

Sec297 applicable on in case of SPECIFIED CONTRACT between SPECIFIED PERSOS..

 

Sec297 says : Specified contract between -

Party 1 : Public company or private company

Party 2 : (i) Director  (ii) Relative of Director (iii) Firm in which director or relative of director is partner (iv) any other partner in such firm (v) A PVT COMPANY of which the director is a member or director.

  

Foreign company is not covered in the list of SPECIFIED PERSON for the purpose of Sec 297..

So i think Sec 297 will not be applicable in ur case..

 

Opinion of other members of CACLUB also be considered..

Adarsh is right . Sec. 297 is not applicable in your case.
