2020 (12) TMI 1137 - HC - Companies LawSeeking directions for reactivation of their Director Identification Numbers (DIN) and Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) - non-compliance and non-filing of balance sheets and returns of the Company for several years - disqualification from acting as Directors, under Section 164(2)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013 - HELD THAT:- In the present cases, the first period of disqualification has already ended. The second period of disqualification of five years as per notice dated 15th September 2017 ends on 31st October 2021. A substantial period of the disqualification has already been undergone by the Petitioners. Re-appointment of new directors, seeking approval for the same and then filing documents of the Company under the Scheme, would be an impractical solution. Thus, while leaving the questions of law open, in the facts and circumstances of these two cases, in order to enable the Petitioners/Directors to avail of the Scheme, this Court directs that the DINs and DSC of the Petitioners be reactivated within 24 hours. Since the ld. counsel for the Registrar of Companies (ROC) are appearing before this court today, the ROC need not wait for a copy of this order in order to reactivate the DINs/ DSCs - Petition disposed off.
