It is a cardinal principle of construction that when a legislation confers power, its amplitude cannot be cut down by instructions or rules or regulations made by subordinate authorities.

Furthermore, even the petitioner does not appear to have been given any opportunity to make even a briefest submission in support of its case.

Nominee Director too liable to file statement of Affairs in case Company is in Liquidation

The ratio of the judgment in Beejay Engg. (P.) Ltd., In re [1983] 53 Comp. Cas. 918 (Delhi) as also as is evident from the definition of a director under section 2(13) no distinction has been made between a nominated director or any other director. Thus, the first argument propounded by the petitioner that the applicant was only a nominee director will not by itself be a ground to absolve the said person from the liability of complying with the direction contained in section 454(2).
