The Bombay High Court held that a company board resolution ratifying representative actions, even if passed 15 years after suit institution, cannot be rejected at the threshold. The court directed the civil court to admit the document and examine its legal validity.

The judgment addresses the procedural admissibility of corporate records submitted during prolonged legal proceedings. Procedural ratification allows corporate boards to validate actions taken by authorized representatives retroactively.
In practice, lower courts must evaluate the evidentiary value of such documents during trial rather than dismissing suits prematurely at the initial filing stage. Litigation teams and corporate secretaries should review pending court matters and ensure proper archival of board resolutions.
