Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
Firstly, how can the case under section 468 be filed directly in the High Court? which lays down the standards of etiquette and professional ethics for a lawyer
Under rule 9 of section 1 to Part A which lays down the standards of etiquette and professional ethics for a lawyer, framed by Bar Council of India, a lawyer shall not hold brief for a company in which he is a director.

9. Not represent establishments of which he is a member
An advocate should not appear in or before any judicial authority, for or against any establishment if he is a member of the management of the establishment. This rule does not apply to a member appearing as “amicus curiae” or without a fee on behalf of the Bar Council, Incorporated Law Society or a Bar Association..
in the present case since you are a director of company you cannot appear as its counsel .
