Because the company's registered office was in Dera Ismail Khan in Pakistan, the High Court lacked territorial jurisdiction. Section 276 also confined the Act's application to unregistered companies to winding-up provisions only, and section 153 was not a winding-up provision. Section 153(6) did not enlarge jurisdiction or extend the provision to a foreign company outside the Court's reach. en-us Thu, 29 Jun 1950 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:25:02 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=97069 The High Court's jurisdiction to sanction a scheme of arrangement under section 153 of the Indian Companies Act, 1913 depended on the statutory meaning of "Court" in sections 2(2) and 3(1), which linked jurisdiction to the High Court at the place where the company's registered office was situated.
