With in 30 days from 14/07/2008 the firm M/s xxx is supposed to file e-form 23 B. Since the firm M/s xxx is dissolved, the audit of accounts by one of the then partners has to be regularized by way of his / her appointment in a board meeting ,in the absence of privity of contract to do the audit by the then partner and the company, because the dissolution of M/s xxx leads to a casual vacancy. For such an appointment e-form 23 B need not be filed.
