..... he accounts so as to decide whether or not to buy or be bought out, such options were not left open by the order passed by this Tribunal on 21.7.2017. The appellant has not challenged the order dated 21.7.2017 in Supreme Court. Thus that order is final for the purposes mentioned. Restoration as Director in time - HELD THAT:- The impugned order shows that the NCLT looked into the claim made by the respondents that in August 2017 they had decided in the Board Meeting to restore the appellant and ROC in court pointed out difficulties regarding filing on the portal of the MCA. This is in para 18 of impugned order. In any case the NCLT has recorded in para 15 of the impugned order that the claim of the appellant regarding non restoration is already filed before the High Court by way of COCP . It is seen that petitioner raised this and other grievances in NCLT only when Respondents sought to buy his shares. Appeal dismissed - decided against appellant. - Company Appeal (AT) No.391 of 2018 - - - Dated:- 25-1-2019 - A. I. S.

Counsel referred to para 10 of the impugned order and stated that the ROC was present in NCLT on 22.4.2018 and had pointed out difficulties in online filing and the respondents had been permitted to do physical filing. 5. The learned counsel for the appellant countered the learned counsel for the respondent claiming that if in August, 2017 appellant had been restored as Director, it was not communicated to him nor he was invited to attend. 6. We have gone through the matter. Learned counsel for the appellant referred to the 1st order dated 19.1.2017 where the operative para 40, 41 reads as under: 40. Looking into the aforesaid aspects, it is quite clear that functioning of the respondent No. 1 Company is in a total mess because of the distrust between the petitioner on the one hand and the respondents on the other. We find it just and proper to provide exit to the petitioner because responden .....

Having gone through the earlier order passed by NCLT on 19.1.2017 which was modified on 21.7.2017, it is clear that it was for the respondents to make the initial offer within time specified on a rate for which they had to take their own risk as the appellant would have then got a chance to make counter offer on a discounted price. This is clearly from the order dated 21.7.2017. Annexure A-7 filed by the appellant shows that the valuer has given report on 21.7.2017 itself (which incidently happened to be the date of judgement passed by this Tribunal) giving valuation (as at page 158) of Rs/1322.60. The respondents appear to have offered @ ₹ 1440/- per share. When .....
