The role of independent directors (IDs) on the board of Indian companies will be clarified in the new Companies Bill and their responsibilities will be made finite in terms of what they are answerable for, said Union Corporate Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid.
A parliamentary panel of experts studying the new Companies Bill is likely to come up with suggestions in this regard, said a corporate affairs ministry official, requesting anonymity. The development assumes significance in the wake of the government’s renewed efforts to quicken the share sales of many state-owned firms that are hamstrung by the lack of a requisite number of independent directors on boards. Market regulator Sebi’s guidelines require that 50% of a company board should be stuffed with independent directors.

By the end of this year hopefully we will have a new Act,” Bandyopadhyay told reporters on the sidelines of a CII event here.

But, to be frank, there exist a prima facie case for the Petitioner in the above case. The Petitioner alleges a due, sent a notice, the notice has not been replied and the Petitioner approaches the Court for winding-up of the Company. The result of the judgment makes it clear that the Court will never favour winding-up of a Company or trouble the Company, unless there exist a strong case or there exist no option except to wind-up the Company if it is a winding-up Petition.
