2019 (9) TMI 535 - HC - Companies LawOppression and Mis-management - appellate remedy provided under Section 421 of the Companies Act 2013 - Maintainability of petition u/s 241 of Companies Act - HELD THAT:- In the instant case, the Companies Act, provides for an appeal from the order of the National Company Law Tribunal to the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal. Appeal is both on law and facts. Both can be adjudicated before the Appellate Tribunal. No doubt, the High Court has powers under Article 227 of the Constitution of India to entertain petitions where Courts and Tribunals under the jurisdiction of the High Court have acted in a manner which has resulted in abuse of process of law or where the facts are so gross that if the High Court does not entertain the petition, then it will result in such an injury which cannot be rectified. Under Section 248 (5) of the Companies Act were passed by the Registrar of Companies, removing the name of the Company from the register, without passing an order under Section 248 (6) of the Act. That was a case wherein it was brought to the notice of this Court that Registrar of Companies struck off the names of the Companies, without passing any order, under Section 248 (6) of the Act. This practise was sought to be rectified by exercising the powers under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. Such is not the scenario here. Efficacious alternate remedy is available to the petitioner, by challenging the order before the National Company Law Tribunal. Petitioner, if so advised can approach before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, by filing an appropriate appeal. It is needless to say that National Company Law Appellate Tribunal may entertain an appeal, even after the expiry of the said period applying Section 14 of the Limitation Act,1963. Civil Revision Petition is not maintainable and the same is dismissed.
