Dr. A. Lakshmanaswami Mudaliarand ... vs Life Insurance Corporation on 11 December, 1962

When a company does an act which is ultra vires, no legal relationship or effects ensues therefrom. Such an act is absolutely void and cannot be ratified, even if all the shareholders agree (vide In re Birkbeck Permanent Benefit Building Society, [1912] 2 Ch. 183 and also Dr. A.

Kishan Prasad & Co. Ltd. vs Commissioner Of Income-Tax, Punjab on 11 November, 1954
