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.
The new Companies Act promising more shareholder democracy and tighter governance norms for corporates is likely to be enacted this year, Corporate Affairs Secretary R Bandyopadhyay said today. “We are hopeful that the committee (parliamentary standing committee) will be giving its reports very quickly… Maybe in the monsoon session… and the ministry will take another two to three months. By the end of this year hopefully we will have a new Act,” Bandyopadhyay told reporters on the sidelines of a CII event here.

Yes, it is also true that just because an opposite party has not appeared in the matter, a suit or a petition need not be allowed where there is no merit in the case. 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.
