Members right-Companies Act, 1956

		Articles-72
The Companies Act, 1956 imparts so many rights to the members of each Company. But many of them are unaware of such rights.  I think the only right about which they are aware is the receipt of dividend. They do know that the power to declare dividend is bestowed on them. It is not possible to educate all the investors regarding the legal and procedural aspects of various activities of the Companies. That is why the Government established various professional bodies and through such bodies, the Government tries to bring a control over the activities of the Companies. So professionals such as Company Secretaries, Chartered Accountants and Cost accountants should be loyal to the members of the Company, Government and should act within the purview of their mother institutes.
Certainly, the professionals as employees should be loyal to the employers and management. Their loyalty should to save the employer from falling victims of illegal activities and non-compliances of various Laws.
