2020 (5) TMI 560 - HC - Companies LawTransfer of shares pending - right to subscribe for rights issue - HELD THAT:- The urgency expressed by the applicants is on account of the rights issue announced by Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL). The applicants claim that certain shares of RIL, which are registered in the name of CRB Capital Markets Limited (CCML) belong to them and their applications for transferring the said shares are pending. They claim that they should also be entitled to subscribe the rights shares of RIL based on their claim to shares of RIL registered in the name of CCML. This Court is not persuaded to accept that the rights entitlement of CCML to subscribe to the shares of RIL ought to be renounced in favour of the applicants. However, it the duty of the Official Liquidator to ensure that maximum value is realised for the assets of the CCML. If the shares of RIL are not subscribed or renounced, the entitlement would lapse and the same would be of no benefit to CCML or the applicants. In the circumstances, this Court considers it apposite to direct that its rights entitlement of CCML to subscribe to RIL’s shares be sold at the maximum value as available. The principal relief sought by the applicant in the present application cannot be granted - application disposed off.
