NCLAT dismissed the company appeal filed by the minority shareholder (holding 5.98% shares) challenging the NCLT's approach to the waiver requirement under Section 244(1)(a) for initiating proceedings under Sections 241-242 of the Companies Act, 2013. The Appellate Tribunal held that the consensual direction to obtain a valuation report, and its submission on record, did not constitute grant of a statutory waiver nor obviate the need for a specific order under Section 244(1)(a). The valuation report was treated as a facilitative, equitable measure aimed at possible amicable settlement and not as a legal precondition. NCLAT held that the NCLT remains fully competent to independently decide the waiver application, and found no legal infirmity, thereby dismissing the appeal.
