A Company can not do anything beyond its powers, and any act beyond such powers is '" Ultra Vires" and void an can not be verified even by the assent of the whole body of shareholders. An ultra vires act is improper because it is violation of the law and diversion of the assests of the Company to a purpose not contemplated by the members and creditors of the Company.
