The judgment concerns a Scheme of Arrangement for amalgamation between two companies, Jainco (India) Exports Private Limited and Gallops Motors Private Limited, along with their shareholders and creditors under Sections 391 and 394 of the Companies Act, 1956. The petitions for both companies were heard together and disposed of by a common judgment.2. The Regional Director raised an issue regarding compliance with Accounting Standard 14, specifically relating to the treatment of assets and liabilities in the amalgamation process.

The Scheme of Amalgamation was found not to be prejudicial to the interests of shareholders or the public.

Ultimately, the Court found that the Scheme of Amalgamation was fair, reasonable, compliant with the law, and not contrary to public policy. No objections were raised, and statutory compliances were met. Therefore, the Court granted sanction to the Scheme, making it binding on all stakeholders and authorities. Directions were issued regarding the preservation of books of accounts, payment of charges, filing of necessary documents, and issuance of the order.This detailed analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the judgment, addressing each issue involved in the legal matter.
