 Pleadings on Behalf of the Company : Supreme Court Explains the Legal Aspect

It has been commented in United Bank of India v. Naresh Kumar [1996] GCtR 3151 (SC) thus : - 

"A person may be expressly authorised to sign the pleadings on behalf of the company, for example by the Board of Directors passing a resolution to that effect or by a power of attorney being executed in favour of any individual. In absence thereof and in cases where pleadings have been signed by one of its officers a Corporation can ratify the said action of its officer in signing the pleadings. Such ratification can be express or implied."
