ISSUE:

Can the company’s title over the property be set aside even in the absence of conveyance of property by the promoter in favour of the company after its incorporation?

RULE:

The logic which was followed was that the promoter is a quasi-trustee and can be obliged to transfer the property. Specific Relief Act which was passed in 1963 provided some relief to the Promoters. Section 15(h) of this act says that if a public company has made a contract with the promoters before incorporation, they can impose it. It says that the contracts entered by the promoters are for the benefit of the company. The company should accept the terms of the contract. Not only the companies can enforce pre incorporation contracts, but other parties can also enforce it on behalf of the company.
