Rule 64 - Matter earlier dealt by Company Law Board

Transfer of cases from Company Law Board to Tribunal preserves prior proceedings; Tribunal may rehear and call further evidence.

Rule 64 provides that cases pending before the Company Law Board when the Tribunal is constituted are transferred to territorially corresponding Tribunal Benches and treated as if originally filed there. Proceedings and actions taken under Company Law Board regulations are preserved and continued under Tribunal rules, except reserved orders which must be reopened and reheard. The Tribunal may call for additional evidence, reallocate matters to appropriate Benches, dispose of redundant proceedings, permit fresh petitions by consent, require physical filing with supporting documents when allowed, and prescribe numbering and transfer procedures.
