Mr Virag Tulzapurkar, learned Senior Advocate i/b RES Legal for the Applicant. .....

CORAM : S.C. GUPTE, J.

JULY 03, 2015 P.C. :

This Company Application seeks recall of an order sanctioning a scheme of arrangement. The scheme of arrangement has not yet taken effect. The order of this Court dated 30 January 2015 sanctions the scheme of amalgamation between five transferor companies and one transferee company. The scheme was, however, not implemented by the respective companies. The certified copy of the order passed by this Court sanctioning the scheme was not filed with the Registrar of Companies by the companies. The scheme was sanctioned by this Court as well as by separate order by Delhi High Court since the registered offices of one of the transferor companies and transferee company are situated within the jurisdiction of that Court. It is the case of the applicant that the applicant finds the scheme inefficient.

The reasons for this are cited in paragraph 8 of the affidavit in support of the company application. The applicant has also placed on record certified true copies of the resolutions passed by the respective shareholders of the transferor and transferee companies in Extraordinary General Meetings consenting for the present recall sought by the applicant.
