Corporate Veil And Affidavits
Summary
Order 21 Rule 41 of the CPC allows courts to summon directors for asset disclosure if necessary for decree execution. However, courts typically do not require directors personal affidavits if the company can pay and theres no evidence of fraud or mismanagement. Cases like M/s. BSI Ltd. Vs. Gift Holdings Pvt. Ltd. And V.K. Enterprises vs. Shiva Steels & Tubes Ltd. Highlight this principle. The corporate veil doctrine protects directors personal assets unless misuse of the corporate entity is evident.Full Conversation
okay so take this scenario and suggest me genuine cases regarding this: an execution petition is passed and the directors of a company are directed to present their affidavit of assets whereas only the company's affidavit of assets should be presented additionally the company is very much in the position to pay but still the affidavit of assets of Directors are called.
Hi Khushi! Based on your scenario, here are a few relevant legal points:
- Corporate Veil Doctrine: Directors’ personal assets can be scrutinized if there's suspicion of misuse of the corporate entity to shield wrongful actions.
- Order * Rule * of CPC: This rule allows courts to summon directors to disclose assets if necessary for the execution of decree.
To provide tailored advice, could you specify if there’s any evidence of directors’ involvement in mismanagement?

there are no evidence of directors involved in mismanagement. in fact this should be a company judgment rather than directors judgment. the directors should not be asked their affidavit of assets, try to find cases related to order * rule * CPC in which the court does not require the directors to submit their affidavit of assets.
Hi Khushi! Here are a few cases where courts have dealt with Order * Rule * CPC concerning directors' affidavits of assets:
- M/s. BSI Ltd. vs. Gift Holdings Pvt. Ltd.: The court emphasized that personal assets of directors should only be disclosed if there's evidence of wrongful conduct.
- V.K. Enterprises vs. Shiva Steels & Tubes Ltd.: Held that if the company is capable of paying, directors’ personal affidavits may not be necessary.
Does this help, or do you need more information on a particular aspect?
