Issues: (i) Whether the conversion of partly paid-up equity shares into fully paid-up equity shares was contrary to the earlier status quo order and warranted rectification of the register of members and forfeiture of shares; (ii) Whether any case was made out for appointment of an independent audit firm to re-audit the company's accounts.
Issue (i): Whether the conversion of partly paid-up equity shares into fully paid-up equity shares was contrary to the earlier status quo order and warranted rectification of the register of members and forfeiture of shares.
Analysis: The relevant partly paid-up shares had been issued long before the petitioner acquired its shares. The company did not issue fresh shares after the interim status quo order; it only called up the unpaid balance on existing partly paid-up shares. The board was competent to make such a call on unpaid share capital, and the conversion was linked to the company's need to meet financial obligations and avoid recovery proceedings. On these facts, the conversion was not found to be in breach of the earlier order and no basis was made out for cancelling or forfeiting the shares or for rectifying the register on that ground.
Conclusion: The issue was decided against the petitioner and in favour of the respondents.
Issue (ii): Whether any case was made out for appointment of an independent audit firm to re-audit the company's accounts.
Analysis: No material was produced to justify the extraordinary relief of re-audit. Financial statements had already been supplied, and the prayer was not supported by any sufficient factual foundation showing necessity for such an order.
Conclusion: The issue was decided against the petitioner and in favour of the respondents.
Final Conclusion: The petition did not establish any entitlement to rectification, forfeiture, cancellation of shares, or re-audit, and was dismissed in full.
Ratio Decidendi: A call made on unpaid share capital of existing partly paid-up shares does not amount to a fresh issue of shares or breach a prior status quo order where the shares were created before that order, and extraordinary audit relief requires a specific factual foundation.
