My business partner is misusing company funds in Darbhanga — what legal action can I take?

Misuse of company funds by a director or partner is actionable under the Companies Act, 2013 (for companies) or the Indian Penal Code for criminal breach of trust and cheating. You can file a petition for oppression and mismanagement under Sections 241–242 before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), and criminal complaints before the magistrate in Darbhanga. Appeals from NCLT lie before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal and the Patna High Court under Section 61. Operational compliance in Bihar also requires Shops and Establishments registration under Bihar Rent Control Act 2017 for the premises. A forensic audit and interim relief may be sought. Document the misuse with financial records before initiating action.
