Option - I:  (resign from the directorship)

You can resign the post of directorship from the company. inform your decision by written to the board.so that you cannot be personally held for any ultra vires act from now on. upon acceptance of resignation by board, inform all your clients and creditors.

if at all there was any ultra vires act during your tenure as director you can be personally held liable for such acts, i think you are willing to accept such liabilities.

Option - II: voluntary winding up of the company.

A voluntary winding up requires a special resolution to be passed at the general meeting. in order to pass a special resolution 3/4 majority is required.

option - III: Compulsory winding up (in case other shareholder are not willing to wind up)

If you have good relationsship with the creditors then you can them to make an application in court of law for winding up of the company  for a reason, company's inability to pay the credit. you need to carefully follow the due course of law.

Dear Sir,

As you said there are only two directors then  for entering into and for signing any new projects authority must have been delegated to any one director and if that authority has been delegated to you then its better not to sign any documents on behalf of the company for any such new project.

In case authority has been delegated to him severally then its a situation of dead-lock in management. You have an option of making an application to the high court for winding up of the company.

Else, if possible pass new resolution in Board/general meeting delegating authority to both the directors jointly for enetring into any new project.

There Are Only 2 Director Me And One Other . Can i resign from the directorship ? I am Ready To Take liabilities for the past client's project.

Dear Sir,

Resignation will not help you at this stage becasue two directors are must on the company's Board of Directors. Therefore, in my view, you only make a winding-up application.

Sir, for this you do not have to take the consent of the other director. You yourself are entitled to present a winding-up petition  to high court as a contributory.

yes, Ms.Preeti is correct, I think winding up would be the best solution, In this you can make application u/s 433 & 439 of companies act for winding up the company. you can apply as contributory and may be on the ground  just and equitable grounds.

just and equitable grounds - meaning :

In accrodance with the rules layed down in the case kaithal vs general mills ltd, you can put up a defence in the court of laws as ,

  1. "impossibility to carry on business at profit but to make only loss here after if furthur business is carried on any furthur"
  2. existing assets or probable assets are insufficient to pay the existing debts

so you need to have evidence in support of your arguments. if no sufficient document with you the opposition may say it's a temperary difficult and business has a bright future, in that you may lose. so kindly collect relavent evidence which evidencly proves that business is in loss and hence if furthur continued would cause a great damage to all the stake holder in company.

or collect evidence to prove that "probable assets are insufficient to pay the existing debts"


Good luck and all the best
