Procedure for filing petitions: formal filing, service on respondents and registrar, and affidavit verification requirements. Petitions must be prepared in the prescribed form and presented personally, by authorised representative, or by registered post; petitioners must serve copies on respondents and, except for specified sections, on the Registrar of Companies and file an acknowledgment. The Bench may allow joint petitions by persons with a common interest. Most petitions require an affidavit verifying the petition sworn by the first person deponent, including deponent particulars, identification where necessary, and clear distinction of statements by knowledge, information, belief, and legal advice, with source details where based on information received.
