1. Only the Company alone is to be made as Plaintiff in the suit to be represented by the Director or its employee.

2. In other words the POA holder will have to be an employee of the Company and a third party stranger ca not represent the company even f he holds the POA.

3. So if Ramesh is an employee he can hold the POA and proceed with the suit.

Mr Ramesh is the POA holder so you can make him the party. Ramesh has no power to collect money in his own name because he is authorised by a registered POA to work on behalf of the company. hence all money must be collected in the name of company.

When Mr Ramesh will be plaintiff in the manner as has been stated then there is no need for separate affidavit.

The company represented through its Power agent would be sufficient, there is no necessity for the names of the directors of the company to be mentioned as plaintiffs.

2. Please remember that Ramesh is just a power agent of the company till the end even though he may be authorised to collect the money on behalf of the company.

He can very well file a money recovery suit after taht also in case the company is defaulting in repayment of loan  provided there is no separate agreement between them in this regard.

Being the company's representative and he had been authorised by the company to let in evidence in the form of an affidavit, he can very well proceed.

Sometimes the opposite advocate may object to this, but since it is a company and Ramesh being a company's director or a manager who is in the knowledge of the company's transactions with the borrower, he may very well be allowed to let in evidence, please make sure that the company, in its POA deed, makes a mention that Mr. Ramesh is somewhere related to the company as a manager or a director etc..

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that the money was taken from Ramesh and then given to third party and now when the third party is not returning the money, company has filed a suit for recovery by giving POA to Ramesh.
  2. Now, one thing is to be understood as to whether is there any agreement between the parties ( all three or specifically between company and Ramesh) as if yes, then it should be legal to do so for Ramesh.
  3. But, not then Ramesh should ask the other important members to become the member of the suit and get his name removed as he is not at all connected to the third party and they might try to get the suit dismissed in the ground of wrong Joginder of the party.
