The grievances raised by the appellants included indiscriminate allotment of equity shares leading to control by a specific individual and the appointment of an Additional Director under allegedly forged signatures. The appellants sought cancellation of the allotment, transfer of shares, and voiding the appointment. The respondents countered by stating that the allotment was based on a written application for conversion of a loan into shares, supported by a meeting resolution duly signed by relevant parties.The appellants were given the opportunity to file a rejoinder affidavit but failed to do so. The Board, after considering the evidence provided, concluded that the application for share conversion and the subsequent resolution were valid as they were not rebutted by the appellants. The Board found no reason to doubt the authenticity of the documents presented by the respondents.The Court upheld the Board's decision, noting that the appellants did not challenge the veracity of the documents submitted by the respondents. The Court also referenced a previous case to emphasize that minor defects in the submission of documents do not negate their validity when un-rebutted. The Court found no substantial challenge to the Board's findings on this issue.Regarding the appointment of the Additional Director, the Board found no evidence to support the appellants' claim of forged signatures. The Board referenced documents, including the Board resolution and inspection report, to support the legitimacy of the appointment. The Court concurred with the Board's findings, stating that no legal issues arose from the evidence presented.The Court emphasized that the appellate jurisdiction under Section 10(f) of the Companies Act pertains to legal issues, not factual findings. Since the Board's conclusions were based on the evidence presented, the Court found no legal grounds to interfere and dismissed the appeal.
