For s. 2(22)(e), a firm can be treated as the ‘shareholder’ even though it is not the registered shareholder and shares are in the name of Partners

At the same time, it is also trite that such a deeming provision has to be taken to its logical conclusion. If the partnership firm which has purchased the shares is not treated as shareholder merely because the shares were purchased in the name of the partners, that too because of the legal compulsion that shares could not be allotted to the said partnership firm which is a non legal entity, it would be impossible for such a condition to be fulfilled.
