Company is not all responsible for the act and compliances done by the officres and Directors of the Company. Any officer or Director of the Company shall be responsible who at the time of commiting the act was at default.

In such a case the onus is on the Chairman to prove that the company has given him the authority... generally the chairman has a general authority to do all such things...
