have been executed on 10.12.2010 in favour of defendant Nos.8 and 9. Under the said lease deeds. defendant Nos.8 and 9 have been th 4 put in possession of the floor of the building as tenants on payment of monthly rent. It is argued that the copies of the lease deeds and other documents have been produced before the court below. A copy of the said lease deeds have also been produced along with these writ petitions and marked as Annexures 'M and N respectively in W.P.No.31337/201 IL Defendant Nos.8 and 9 * OLJJ have been paying the rents regularly. They cannot he evicted WAc c.o-fr without due process of law. The courts below are not right in ,Z1 €Lv granting an order of injunction restraining defendant Nos.8 and 9 from using the building of the first defendant hospital. (S1Jri)

9. ft is further submitted that since the suit itself was not maintainable having regard to Section 10GB of the Act, the court below ought to have rejected the plaint reserving liberty to the plaintiffs to move the Company Law Board for appropriate reliefs. There Iiwc. the eourt below ought to have allowed l.A.No.3. 19

10. On the other hand. learned Counsel appearing for the plaintiffs submits that the Constitution Bench of the Apex Court in UNION OF INDiA VS. R.GANDHI - 2010 AIR SCW 4004 has held that Section 10GB of the Act is unconstitutional. Therefore, question of rejecting the plaint under Order 7 Rule 11(d) of the CPC does not arise. It is further argued that the lower appellate Court while upholding the order of the trial Court on l.A.No.2 was not justilied in reserving liberty tv' the Board of Directors of the Company to get a valid resolution passed for the purpose of leasing out the premises to defendant Nos.8 and 9 or any other aspirants as it is violative of the aims and objectives of the first defendant company.

1 I. Having regard to the contentions urged. the first question for consideration is whether the courts below are justified in granting an order of injunction restraining the using of the building of the first defendant company by defendant Nos.8 and 9?

n 20 'p

12. The contention of the plaintiffs is that the resolution passed by the Company dated 7.9.2010 1% contrary to law and is violative of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the company. The materials produced before the Court would clearly indicate that a resolution has been passed by the majority of the Directors of the company for leasing the 4 th floor of the building of the first defendant company in favour of defendant Nos.8 and 9. Thereafter, the lease deeds have been executed on 10.12.2010 for a ih 4 period of eleven months leasing two portions of the floor of the building in favour of defendant Nos.8 and 9. Defendant Nos.8 and 9 were also put in possession of the 4" floor of the building as tenants thereof. The validity of the lease deeds are not under challenge in the suit. Whether the lease deeds executed on behalf of the lirsi defendant company is valid or not has to he decided in an appropriate proceedings. The tact remains that detimdant Nos.8 and 9 have already heel) put in possession of the 4" floor of the building. Since they are already in possession. they cannot be A) 21 0 dispossessed without due process of law. in the circumstances. granting an order of injunction restraining defendant Nos.8 and 9 from using the 4" floor of the building at this stage is invalid. The courts below have not taken into account the execution of the lease deeds by the company in favour of defendant Nos.8 and 9 leasing 4" Iloor of the building in their Ilivour. in my opinion, both the courts have erred in restraining defendant Nos.8 and 9 from using th 4 the floor of the building of the first defendant company. The plaintiffs have not made out a prima facie case for grant of an order of injunction. I am also of the view that balance of convenience is also not in their favour.

13. The next question for consideration is whether the lower appellate Court is justified in reserving liberty to the second defendant, the Chairman of the first defendant company to get a valid resolution passed for leasing out the premises to defendant Nos.S and 9 or any other aspirants for promoting of the aims and objectives of defendant No.1 company? 4 42
