This action of taking out funds of the company amounts to mismanagement and is against the interest of the company. Further if the business of the proprietorship concern is of a similar nature as that of the company then it is a breach of fiduciary duty by the Director. We can approach the company law board under Section 397 & 398 of the companies act.

You need to file a petition with the Company Law Board on the grounds of oppression and mismanagement. The CLB will pass the appropriate orders. The CLB is a specialized forum that understands the specific needs of corporations and their members. Relief is given quickly. If I could be of any further assistance in this matter do let me know.
