The director appointed by BIFR are out of the purview of Section 274(1)(g) but my query is what about other directors who are in the company which has came within the scope of Sick Industrial Companies act and declared sick unit. Whether section 274(1)(g)is applicable to directors other than directors appointed by BIFR who were already directors before falling within the meaning of Sick unit?
Department Circular No. 11/2001, dated 25-05-2001-The matter whether director appointed under section 16(4) of the Sick Industrial Companies(Special Provisions) Act, 1985 (SICA) by the BIFR shall be liable to be disqualified under section 274(1)(g) .
