HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7139 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is the Managing Director of the third respondent company. It appears that there were certain arrangements between the third respondent company and the fifth respondent-company, which resulted in induction of the fourth respondent as one of the Directors on the Board of Management of the third respondent. A notice was circulated by the fourth respondent proposing to conduct the meeting of Board of Directors of the third respondent on 19.3.2011. The petitioner submits that he is undergoing treatment in United States and it would not be possible for him to attend the meeting. His contention is that several important issues touching upon the financial and administrative relations between respondent Nos. 3 and 5 are tabled in the agenda and it is better that if the meeting scheduled is postponed to any other date. It is also stated that though representations were made to respondent Nos.1 and 2 with a request to intervene in the matter, no action is forthcoming. Heard Sri D. Prakash Reddy, learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner; Sri Ponnam Ashok Goud for Respondent No.1, Sri C. Kodandaram, learned Senior Counsel for respondent No.3, Sri C.V.Mohan Reddy , learned senior counsel for respondent No. 4 and Sri S.R.Ashok, learned senior counsel for respondent No.5. It may be true that the petitioner is suffering from an ailment and he is in United States for treatment. Viewed in isolation, the ground pleaded by him may provide a justification to make the above request for postponement of the meeting. However, this Court cannot entertain the writ petition in matters of this nature. There is hardly any element of statutory exercise, which warrants intervention of this Court. The respondent Nos. 3 and 5 are purely limited companies, hardly having any characteristic of State or State’s instrumentality. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY,J DATE: 18th March, 2011 pnb
