The Company Law Board, although possessing some judicial attributes, is a statutory tribunal rather than a court for this purpose, and a company petition is not a suit. A petition seeking relief for oppression, mismanagement, register rectification, director appointments, and regulation of company affairs involves distinct statutory issues from a civil suit concerning management interference; consequently, section 10 does not mandate a stay. en-us Fri, 10 Sep 2004 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 15 Dec 2017 17:34:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=110185 Section 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure applies only where the later proceeding is a suit before a court and the matters directly and substantially in issue are identical to those in a previously instituted suit.
