20 February 2013 If a director resigns when there is some liability on the company & the other directors accept the resignation. Then will the former director be liable to pay these company's liabilities? If yes, then to what extent? What if he doesn't fulfill these liabilities, what charges can be framed against him & what can be the extreme consequences?
