Issues: Whether the meetings of equity shareholders, secured creditors and unsecured creditors of the transferor and transferee companies should be dispensed with and the joint application for approval of the scheme of amalgamation should be allowed.
Analysis: The application was supported by board resolutions, audited financial statements and affidavits showing unanimous consent of all equity shareholders. The transferor company had no secured creditors, while the unsecured creditor had given 100% consent. The transferee company also had unanimous consent from all equity shareholders, no secured creditors, and consent from all unsecured creditors. In these circumstances, the statutory requirement for convening meetings was not attracted or stood satisfied through consent, and the proposed scheme could proceed subject to compliance with the applicable procedural requirements and notices to the concerned regulatory and tax authorities.
Conclusion: The meetings of the equity shareholders and unsecured creditors were dispensed with, the question of a meeting of secured creditors did not arise where there were none, and the joint application was allowed.
Final Conclusion: The scheme was permitted to move forward without convening stakeholder meetings, subject to further compliance with the applicable company law procedure and service of notices on the specified authorities.
Ratio Decidendi: Where all affected stakeholders have furnished complete consent and there are no secured creditors, the Tribunal may dispense with the convening of meetings for a proposed scheme of amalgamation.
