Between: Green Field Neem-Tech (P) Ltd., ..... APPELLANT AND The Government of India and others .....RESPONDENTs Counsel for the Appellant: MR.S.ASHOK ANAND KUMAR Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR HOME The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE MRS. JUSTICE T. MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W.A.NO. 531 OF 2001 ORDER: (Per Sri Ramesh Rangarathan, J) Challenging the order of a learned single Judge of this Court who declined to interfere with the show cause notice issued by the 2nd respondent on 21.7.2000, the present writ appeal is filed. The learned Single Judge, in his order dated 9.2.2001, observed that the show cause notice did not suffer from any inherent lack of jurisdiction which necessitated interference by the Court in exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India and the petitioner was free to raise before the 2nd respondent all the objections including those which were taken in the writ petition. The learned counsel for the appellant submits that the writ petition was filed challenging the validity of Company Law Settlement Scheme, 2000 which violates the Companies Act and is inoperative against the appellant and as such the Court ought to have adjudicated the matter. Whatever may be grounds of challenge in the writ petition, the fact remains that the order impugned is merely a show cause notice. It is not even the case of the petitioner that the Registrar of Companies (2nd respondent) suffers from any lack of jurisdiction disentitling him from hearing any objections raised by the petitioner. Leaving it open to the appellant to raise all such objections including those which were taken in the writ petition, we see no reason to interfere with the order under appeal. In case the appellant files his objections within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, the 2nd respondent shall consider the said objections and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. We are passing this order in view of the submission made by the learned counsel for the appellant that despite no interim order was passed by the Court, no final orders are passed by the 2nd respondent till date. It is also made clear that in case the appellant does not file his objections within the time stipulated above, it is open to the 2nd respondent to proceed with the matter and pass final orders pursuant to the show cause notice in accordance with law. The writ appeal is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ___________________ T.
