Frequently Asked Questions — Director Dispute Lawyer
Can a director be removed without cause in India?
Under Section 169 of the Companies Act 2013, a company can remove any director (except independent directors and those appointed by the NCLT during O&M proceedings) by ordinary resolution after giving "special notice" of 28 days. However, the director has the right to make a representation and to be heard at the meeting. Strategic use of these rights — drafted by our director dispute lawyers — often changes the outcome or creates grounds for NCLT challenge.
What happens if a director is disqualified under Section 164?
Disqualification under Section 164 bars the person from acting as a director for 5 years. The DIN becomes inactive. They cannot be appointed to any board. Common triggers include: company failing to file financial statements for 3 years, conviction for certain offenses, or undischarged insolvency. Our lawyers challenge disqualifications before NCLT and assist in restoration through compounding/compliance.
