In Re: Mohan Exports India Ltd. vs. Tarun Overseas Pvt. Ltd.

ByVivek Kumar Verma

In case the proposed scheme is bona fide and genuine and is not against public interest then mere fact that certain immovable properties or right to recover debts etc. are transferred to the transferee company would not mean that they are in violation of any provisions of the Transfer of Property Act.

Miheer H. Mafatlal Vs. Mafatlal Industries Ltd.

ByVivek Kumar Verma

The scope of Company Court to sanction scheme of amalgamation is limited and therefore Court can intervene in matter only when it is not just and fair or prejudicial to the interest of share holders. Court can only go through scheme and examine whether it has complied requirements under Section 391 (2) and was passed requisite majority or not.
