https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=103269 Section 10 of the Companies Act, 1956 is only a jurisdiction-defining provision and does not confer any general or residuary power on the Company Court. The High Court's jurisdiction is limited to matters specifically assigned by the Act or the Companies (Court) Rules, and Rule 11 lists the applications maintainable by petition. A dispute alleging breach in share allotment and seeking related relief could not be brought under section 10 alone, because no provision was shown that empowered the Court to grant that relief. In the absence of an express or implied bar, civil court jurisdiction under section 9 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 remained available. The petition was therefore not maintainable before the High Court. en-us Fri, 04 Aug 1995 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:51:12 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=103269 Section 10 of the Companies Act, 1956 is only a jurisdiction-defining provision and does not confer any general or residuary power on the Company Court.
