Companies Act, 1956
Sec 577 - Continuation of pending legal proceedings.
All suits and other legal proceedings taken by or against the
company, or any public officer or member thereof, which are pending at the time
of the registration of a company in pursuance of this Part, may be continued in
the same manner as if the registration had not taken place:
Provided that execution shall not issue against the
property or persons of any individual member of the company on any decree or
order obtained in any such suit or proceeding; but, in the event of the
property of the company being insufficient to satisfy the decree or order, an
order may be obtained for winding up the company.
