Issues: Whether rectification of the register of shareholders could be granted in summary proceedings under section 38 of the Companies Act where the genuineness of the transfer deed and the circumstances of the entry and cancellation were disputed.
Analysis: The dispute raised rival versions on material facts, including whether the transfer deed was forged, whether the entry in the register was made by mistake, and whether the subsequent cancellation was valid. Such questions required detailed evidence and a thorough enquiry, which could not properly be undertaken in summary proceedings for rectification of the register. The appropriate course was a regular suit or other independent remedy where the facts could be fully investigated. The Court also treated the power under section 38 as discretionary and declined to exercise it on the facts presented.
Conclusion: Rectification under section 38 was not granted, and the petitioner's remedy, if any, lay in a regular action rather than in summary proceedings.
Ratio Decidendi: Rectification of the register of shareholders will be refused in summary proceedings under section 38 of the Companies Act where the claim depends on complicated disputed facts requiring full evidentiary enquiry.
