2009 (6) TMI 589 - HC - Companies Law

Summary

The High Court of Karnataka, with V. Gopala Gowda and Aravind Kumar, JJ., presiding, issued a judgment in 2009 (6) TMI 589. The appellant, represented by Crist Law Partners, challenged an order from the Company Law Board. The appellant argued that the Board's order was erroneous and contrary to law, as it directed the convening of an annual general meeting despite the absence of a constituted Board of Directors. The appellant contended that the meeting, which took place on 22-12-2008 and resulted in the appointment of new directors, was compliant with the Board's directive. The Company Law Board's decision was based on the Registrar of Companies' report, which indicated the absence of a Board of Directors. The court found no substantial question of law to consider and dismissed the appeal, upholding the Company Law Board's order. The judgment condoned the delay and allowed the appellant's appeal in Misc. Civil No. 1888 of 2009. The appeal was ultimately deemed devoid of merit and dismissed.
