18 June 2013 If statutory auditor purchases goods from the company on credit exceeding the value of Rs. 1000 but subject to the time limit which generally company allows in ordinary course of business then whether such auditor is disqualified as per section 226 ?

18 June 2013 If such person is indebted to the company exceeding Rs. 1000/- then they will be disqualified under section 226.

18 June 2013 Agreed Sir but i heard that it was decision of high court which had favored auditor in this respect so got confused.
