of <h1>Company's Name Restoration Appeal Dismissed under Companies Act 1956. Ex-Directors Liable for Post-Striking Off Liabilities.</h1> <h3>Rajiv Kapur & Ors. Versus Registrar of Companies NCT of Delhi & Haryana & Ors.</h3> Rajiv Kapur & Ors. Versus Registrar of Companies NCT of Delhi & Haryana & Ors. - TMI Issues:Restoration of company's name on the Register of Companies under Section 560(6) of the Companies Act, 1956.Analysis:1. The appeal sought restoration of a company's name on the Register of Companies under Section 560(6) of the Companies Act, 1956. The case was transferred to the National Company Law Tribunal from the High Court of Delhi as per a notification by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.2. The company in question had its name struck off the register in 2007. The appellants claimed that the company owed them a significant sum from an unsecured loan taken from the joint family corpus. They also alleged misappropriation of assets by certain individuals controlling the company.3. The petitioners, as creditors, sought restoration based on the outstanding loan amount and interest due. They argued that they were entitled to maintain the petition within the specified time limit and had legitimate claims against the company.4. The Respondent No. 1, Registrar of Companies, contended that the company applied for striking off its name following the SES Scheme, 2005, and had no assets or liabilities. The legal heirs of the creditors filed the appeal seeking payment of dues owed to them as per the indemnity bond.5. The respondent No. 3 opposed the appeal, stating that the loan amount had been bequeathed and paid to a legal heir of the deceased, making the restoration claim invalid. The Tribunal examined the statutory provisions and found that none of the conditions for restoration were met in this case.6. The Tribunal concluded that the appellant failed to prove creditor status as the loan amount had been settled with a legal heir. The indemnity bonds submitted by the ex-directors made them liable for any post-striking off liabilities. Consequently, the petition for restoration was dismissed.
