https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=97878 An order directing investigation into a company's affairs under section 237 of the Indian Companies Act, 1913 is only a preliminary fact-finding measure through inspectors. It does not finally determine the rights of the company or its directors, does not terminate the proceedings, and does not affect the merits of the dispute. Because the order is interlocutory and investigative in character, it does not satisfy the settled test of a judgment under clause 15 of the Letters Patent and is therefore not appealable. en-us Mon, 10 Jul 1961 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:34:15 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=97878 An order directing investigation into a company's affairs under section 237 of the Indian Companies Act, 1913 is only a preliminary fact-finding measure through inspectors.
