Where shareholding, board composition, and management remain unchanged, and the dispute is instead about entitlement to an estate from which shares devolve, the statutory basis for investigation is not made out. Interim restrictions on shares under Section 250(2) depend on the existence of a valid investigation basis and will fail if that foundation is absent. The provision cannot be used to determine a separate inheritance or estate-control dispute. en-us Mon, 25 Apr 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 16 May 2024 10:58:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=185723 Investigation into company membership under Section 247(1A) is warranted only where circumstances indicate a real discrepancy between ostensible and beneficial ownership, or where it is necessary to identify persons financially interested in, controlling, or materially influencing the company.
