However, the court cited precedent where objections from the Regional Director were not deemed a hindrance to amalgamation, emphasizing the comprehensive nature of section 391 of the Companies Act. Given the absence of objections from creditors or shareholders and the lack of objectionable features in the scheme, the court sanctioned the amalgamation scheme, ordering the company petitions accordingly.Issue 3: Sanction of Amalgamation SchemeThe court found no valid objections to the scheme of amalgamation from relevant stakeholders and determined that the scheme was appropriate for approval.
