Sections 34 & 38–

Maintainability
of application before the Company Court for rectification of share register–it
is a discretion of the Court to see whether the point at issue relating to
rectification of share register can be resolved on the basis of materials on
record. If the case is complicated and very doubtful and if it appears that
without resorting to some procedure other than the summary proceeding under
section 38 of the Act a case cannot be disposed of, the Company Court should
not interfere with such a matter. But if it is apparent on the face of the
records that legal rights of the parties are clear and can be settled on the
basis of the materials on record, the Company Court can exercise its
jurisdiction in the matter.

Giasuddin
Ahmed vs Green Delta Insurance Company Ltd and another 56 DLR (AD) 31.

 

Section 38–

Powers of
Court to rectify register. The jurisdiction conferred on Company Court under
section 38 is very wide and unlimited though it is a discretion to grant or
refuse such relief. It was not found that the Company Judge has acted illegally
in allowing such relief under section 38 of the Companies Act in the facts of
the present case. Section 38 of our Companies Act is equivalent to section 155
of Indian Companies Act. In section 155 of the IndianAct, “the name of any
person is fraudulently inserted or omitted” has been omitted; whereas in
section 38 of the Companies Act it has been retained. Thus the scope of section
3 8 of the Act is very wide and the Company Judge has rightly passed the order
of rectification of share registers of the Companies.

Haque
Brothers vs Shamsul Haque 39 DLR 290.

Begum vs Doctor’s Chemical Works Ltd 44 DLR 37 i.

 

Section 38–

Rectification
of share­ register– It is not necessary to produce the script (original share

knew about the shares. In the facts of the present case, non–production of
scripts will not debar the transferee from getting his name registered in the
Company as its share–holder.

Sher Ali
Amir Ali Virjee vs Eastern industries 43 DLR 54.

 

Section 38–

Maintainability
of an application for transfer of shares–If a dispute cannot be resolved

application will be maintainable or not.

Sher Ali
Amir Ali Virjee vs Eastern Industries 43 DLR 54.

 

Section 38–

Rectification
of share register­Rectification after renunciation of shares of individuals in
favour of a corporation whether valid–It is not correct to say that shares can
be transferred only to an individual national and not to any juristic person,
because the latter is not a citizen. A legal and juristic person or body
corporate is a person by fiction of law and some human being is entitled to act
on its behalf. Petitioner Investment Corporation of Bangladesh being a legal
and Juristic person is competent to purchase the shares.

Investment Corporation
of Bangladesh vs Bata Shoe Company (Bangladesh) Ltd 43 DLR 487.

and another vs Ahmed impex (Pvt) Ltd 48 DLR (AD) 82.

 

Section 38–

Judgment of
a Division Bench of the High Court Division in an appeal against the Judgment
of a Single Company Judge exercising power under section 38 is taken to be non
est, having been passed completely without jurisdiction, a classic example of coram
non judice.

Moqbul Ahmed
and another vs Ahmed Impex (Pvt) Ltd and others 48 DLR (AD) 82.

 

Section 38–

Ahmed vs Green Delta Insurance Company Limited and another 52 DLR 41

 

Section 38–

In the
absence of any definite statement from the respondent about the delivery of the
share certificate, and in view of the documents on record admitting that the
share certificate was not delivered to the company or to respondent No. 2, it
cannot be accepted that the share certificate was in fact handed over to the
company or to respondent No. 2.

Abu Taher vs
Nur Muhammad and others 53 DLR (AD) 88

 

Sections 38 & 40–

Share
register is maintained under section 40 which is prim a facie evidence of any
matter to be inserted therein but where both parties have led all their
evidence, the question of initial presumption as contemplated in section 40
lost all its importance. When the facts involved are not complicated calling
for a detailed investigation in a separate forum, applications for correction
of share registers are quite maintainable.

Tamizul
Haque vs Shamsul Huq 43 DLR (AD) 34.

 

Sections 38 and 162–

Section 162–

A company
may be wound up by the Court upon the resolution that the company be wound up
by the Court and on the ground that the Court would be of the opinion that it
is just and equitable that the company should be wound up. The principle that
would guide the dissolution of a partnership firm would also be applicable to a
case of winding up of a private company– A mere lack of understanding which
arose out of a personal dispute alone cannot be a ground for–winding up the
company. Parties seeking for an order from the Court must have an equity in his
favour.

M Al–­Amin

Section 162–

Section 162–

Plea for
winding up of a company–Company Judge is competent to dispose of winding–up
petition summarily on affidavits and counter–affidavits of parties. Company
Court has inherent power to stay all further proceedings sine die for the ends
of justice when such petition is malafide having been made for a collateral
purpose and the same is an abuse of the process of the court. Order staying
winding­ up petition sine die amounts to rejection of such petition. It is not
legally permissible to reopen the matter on the grounds as contained in the
existing petition–New facts cannot be incorporated by amending the existing
winding up petition. Revival of the present petitions are uncalled for– Filing
of fresh winding up petition will depend on new or continuing causes of action.

Dr. Naimur
Rahman vs Shahbazpur Tea Co ltd 43 DLR (AD) 169.

 

Section 162–

of a company­—question of locus standi

Since the
petitioner is one of the original promoter–directors of the Company and is now

Ashraf Jute Mills Ltd 45 DLR 282.

 

Sections 162 & 163–

Landlord’s
right to seek winding up of a company=when a debt due by a company is
established and remains unsatisfied, it is not under discretion of the Court to
refuse creditor an order for winding up of the Company. The Court is to

which is legally recoverable. The petitioner being admittedly landlord and the
defendant company being unable to pay its rent, the application for winding up
of the latter is maintainable.

bank when not entitled to interest forming part of the debts–The interest

from the date of its taking over as abandoned property till date of its
release. To allow such interest is absolutely discretion of the Court. During

such period.

Sections 162, 163 & 166 –

In the facts
of counter–claims raised the legal liability of the company may be determined
in a regular suit, even after the decree in the money suit, the bank may be

Sections 162, 163 & 166–

A limited
company being a juristic person, lives, runs and functions under the provisions

Tyres Ltd vs Agrani Bank & others 42 DLR 474.

 

Sections 162, 163 & 166–

The company
judge simply incorporated the claims made by the creditors without considering
in detail the assets and liabilities of the company and other materials so as
to see whether the company was actually unable to repay the loan. His sweeping
finding for winding up was not acceptable.

Bangladesh
Tyres Ltd vs Agrani Bank & others 42 DLR 474.

Winding up
of a company by court–Circumstances in which winding up will be ordered– The

assets being in mortgage or in pledge, and there is no possible chance of a
profit being made or its business carried out.

Sections 162 & 166–

Winding up
of a Company– Whether mismanagement could be a ground for winding up–There may
be certain irregularities and omissions in the management of a company. But
mere allegation of mismanage­ment will not make the company liable to be wound
up on the just and equitable reason. ­Where nothing more is established than
that the directors have misappropriated the funds of the company an order for
winding up would not be just and equitable. Allegations of misconduct of the
directors or that the business has been carried on at a heavy loss are per se
not grounds on which the court would order winding up. Where petition by a
share–holder contains allegations which all relate to the internal management
or mismanagement of the company’s affairs, it is a matter for the share–holders
themselves to deal with and not one that would call for interference by the
court.

Rehana Ahmed
vs Nahar Shipping Lines Limited 44 DLR 256.

 

Sections 162(1) & 166–

Bazlul Ghani
vs Pioneer Bank Ltd  Comilla 42 DLR 480.

 

Section 171–

The Banking
Companies Ordinance 1962 made special provisions for banking companies when
they are in liquidation and empowered the High Court Division exclusive
jurisdiction to decide any claim by or against a banking company. Though this
Ordinance is in addition and not in derogation of the Companies Act or any
other law for the time being in force, section 60 of the Banking Companies
Ordinance by its non obstante clause made provision to prevail over the
Companies Act, Civil Procedure Code or any other law for the time being in
force.

Section 171–

Auction sale
of property of a company–

The Company
is in liquidation long afterwards–Question of setting aside the sale­
Provisions of the Banking Companies Ordinance when read with those of the
Companies Act and the Public Demands Recovery Act, it appears that the
provisions of the Banking Companies Act shall be effective iri addition to and
not in derogation to the Companies Act or any other law for the time being in
force excepting the provisions which are specifically made in the Ordinance. In
view of the fact that the law under which the auction sale took place has made
provisions for the aggrieved person to seek the relief of setting aside the
auction and the plaintiff did not avail of the forum for appropriate remedy and
the auction is still subsisting in the eye oflaw, the same cannot be set aside
now in the present proceeding under the Bangladesh Companies Ordinance.
