16 April 2012 Yes he can continue as MD of ABG Ltd as well.

Restriction is there only if he is appointed as MD or Manager of PQR Ltd.

As in your case he is getting appointed as WTD, normal procedure for appointment of WTD is to be followed.

17 April 2012 Dear Jagruti!

Thanks for ur reply.....but can u please elaborate ur answer citing some case laws or relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956?

21 April 2012 In My opinion a person can't be appointed as a MD if he is WTD in another company.

Though the companies act does not expressly prohibit it.

The logic behind in my answer is that WTD is one who spends his whole time in the management of the company. MD also stands in the same position.

Though Act permits appointment of same person as MD of more than one company. About WTD, its is not expressly mentioned.
