A Company has a different legal entity different from its directors. Under the Companies Act, the Company’s registration renders it an artificial person with significant legal rights and liabilities to the company like any other natural person. Among these rights, the most significant one is the right to sue and to be sued. Hence, the Company could sue and could get sued in its name.

During the shareholder or the investors’ violation of the rights, litigation, suit, or petition could get filed in the Company name. However, an obligatory condition needed to get fulfilled is that the said suits, petitions or Complaints have to be through the Authorized Representative of a Company.

Even a Company can file Complaints through a living person, duly authorised by the company, against another company or any natural person. In case such Complaints haven’t been filed through a natural living person, the Complaint gets dismissed.

So, using the court or getting sued by the court and taking the matter to the courts is litigation.
