Their main contention is that they were not shareholders at the time this banking company was wound up and the share register showing them as shareholders is incorrect and should be rectified. The facts are not disputed. These shares were sold by the Maharaja of Sonepur and his family as early as 20th November, 1945. The copies of the sold notes are annexed with the records.
