Supreme Court: Admitting the petition against the order giving relief to the directors of the companies struck off by the Registrar of Companies last year, Supreme Court stayed Bombay High Court’s order on the special leave petition filed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
In accordance to the stated order of the Bombay High Court, the companies’ directors who had been disqualified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) no longer stood to be disqualified as had been directed to the Registrar of Companies.
Further, if any other High Court had issued any such order as that of the Bombay High Court, then all of those similar orders would stand stayed in around 2000 cases.
It is pertinent to note that in September last year the Ministry of Corporate Affairs had disqualified more than 3 lakh directors of various companies that failed to file financial statements and annual returns for 3 consecutive years.
