Indian employees posted to overseas countries continue to contribute towards the social security system in India. Additionally they are also compelled to make the social security contributions in the host countries.

Mr. X. held certain shares in dematerialized account with a depository. Mr. X executed nomination in the prescribed form following the prescribed procedures in favor of his nephew (Mr Y). Upon the demise Mr. X, wife of Mr. X (say Mrs. X) filed a suit claiming an interest in those shares as a legal heir and representative. The Bombay High Court interpreted provisions of Section 109A of the Companies Act (Nomination of Shares), the Depositories Act and the bye law 9.11 of National Securities Depository Limited [NSDL] and held that where a shareholder of a company executes valid nomination form in the prescribed manner, upon death of the shareholder (i.e. Mr. X), the rights in shares including ownership rights vests in the nominee (Mr. Y) to the exclusion of other person (i.e. Mrs. X). The High Court further held that the bye law 9.11 of NSDL makes the nominee’s position superior to even a testamentary disposition and that the non obstante clause in bye law no. 9.11.7 gives the nomination the effect of the testamentary disposition itself.

As such, in accordance with the object of providing speedy mode of recovery for the Banks in respect of secured loans, section 34 contains a Bar on Civil Courts in entertaining suits in respect of the matter in which the Bank has initiated a proceeding under SARFAESI Act, 2002.
