Sacked MD sues Singapore JV in India over dismissal
Asaithambi Manickam wants a Bengaluru court to overturn his termination, arguing it violates natural justice and due process.
Former L&W Construction Private Limited managing director Asaithambi Manickam is taking legal action against his Singaporean joint venture, Lee Kim Tah and Woh Hup, over his dismissal. Manickam, who has a longstanding connection to Woh Hup, filed a suit in Bengaluru's city and civil sessions court, seeking interim orders to prevent interference with his management and directorship roles at L&W.
The suit also aims to declare any actions taken following his termination invalid, and to affirm his right to continue serving in his director capacity. Respondents in the case include L&W, directors Teoh Hang Boon and Eugene Yong, and Singapore-based holding company Lee Kim Tah–Woh Hup Pte Ltd. The court hearing is set for September 21.
Manickam, who was transferred to L&W in 2008, has denied all allegations against him and claims his termination was unlawful and procedurally flawed. He argues that he was not given access to the audit and related reports, and links his dismissal to ongoing disputes between Singapore shareholders.
