Rule 67 of the Companies (Court) Rules, 1959 permits an ex parte summons subject to rule 68, while rule 63 requires service on the company or liquidator; however, an ex parte process does not by itself bar an interested party from placing its views before the Court.

Their affidavit was taken on file. en-us Tue, 27 Jan 1976 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:27:25 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=99339 Shareholders interested in a proposed scheme under section 391 could be allowed to file an affidavit and be heard at the ex parte summons-for-directions stage.
