IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P NO. 307 OF 2009 DECIDED ON : 09.01.2009 M/S B.S.C Cycles Ltd. ...Petitioner versus Government of India ...Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. Rakesh Bhatia, Advocate, for the petitioner. SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) The petitioner-company is aggrieved at a Show Cause Notice dated 07.10.2008 (Annexure P-4) whereby the Registrar of Companies, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh at Jalandhar had called upon it to furnish the pending balance sheets and annual returns within 15 days from the date of the Show Cause Notice, failing which, it would be liable for prosecution. The petitioner-company has already responded to the said Show Cause Notice vide its reply dated 06.11.2008 (Annexure P-5). Thereafter, no penal action,whatsoever, has been taken by the Registrar of Companies against the petitioner- company. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, apprehends that notwithstanding the said reply, the Registrar of Companies shall file a criminal complaint against the Directors of the Company which includes an old woman. C.W.P NO. 307 OF 2009 -2- Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the considered view that this writ petition is wholly pre-mature at this stage. Since the petitioner-company has already responded to the Show Cause Notice, there is no reason to doubt that the Registrar of companies, who is otherwise obligated in law, shall consider the said reply in accordance with law before any action is taken in the matter.
