Issues: Whether approval should be granted for sale of the company's property, and what mode of sale should be directed, in the interest of the company and its secured creditors.
Analysis: The application was made under the Company Law Board Regulations and Section 402 of the Companies Act, 1956, pursuant to a shareholders' resolution passed in extraordinary general meeting authorising sale of the company's assets. The resolution was supported by a majority of shareholders, and the order records that the Board should not interfere with the company's day-to-day management or with the commercial wisdom of the shareholders unless illegality is shown. At the same time, the dominant consideration for sale of property is to secure the best price, which is ordinarily achieved by wide publicity and public participation. The secured creditors' interests also required that the sale be conducted transparently.
Conclusion: Approval was granted for sale of the property, but the sale was directed to be by open auction with wide publicity and consent of the secured creditors. If open auction failed or did not secure the best price, sealed tenders could be called for under transparent conditions.
Ratio Decidendi: In matters of sale of company assets approved by shareholder resolution, the authority should ordinarily respect the commercial wisdom of shareholders, while ensuring that the process secures the best price through a transparent and widely publicised sale mechanism.
