Aidqua Holding (Mauritius) Inc. vs Tamil Nadu Water Investmant Company ... on 28 September, 2007

1.6 The Company proposed to take insurance policy, by which it would be purchasing the indemnity/insurance for wrongful acts done by-the officers and directors of the Company. The insurance policy will cover former, present and future members of the board of directors and the management for wrongful acts in their official capacity, which shall include misuse of corporate funds, Companies Act violations, customer suits, financial loss to corporation, action by creditors etc. This will encourage nominee directors of the petitioners, being majority shareholders, officers and employees to commit such wrongful acts. Any approval for such policy will adversely affect the proper functioning of the Company. However, every director, officer or servant of the Company is already indemnified by the Company under Clause 320 of the articles and there is no need for any additional liability insurance cover. The Company would become liable to pay premium for such insurance policy. Thus, any resolution in regard to the insurance policy falls within the scope of AIDQUA Reserved Matter, attracting Clause 197(h) of the articles. Nevertheless, the board of directors, in disregard of the articles accorded its consent for obtaining directors' and officers' liability insurance cover for the Company to an extent of Rs. 5 crore. The applicant does not get any return on its investment of Rs. 90 crore in the Company and the applicant should have some control over the accounts and financial policy of the Company by requiring their affirmative vote in financial matters as held in IL & FS Trust Co. Limited v. Birla Perucction Limited (2004) Vol. 121 CC 335. The above two issues considered at the board meeting are essentially related to the management and affairs of the Company and any resolution on the same will cause prejudice to the interest of the Company and the applicant, more so when they are contrary to the articles and totally illegal. The Bench may suspend the implementation of the resolutions in respect of the AIDQUA Reserved Matters passed at the board meeting held on 27.07.2007 at Tirupur. The petitioners are endeavouring to remove all the restrictions contained in the articles, which are prejudicial to the applicant and cannot be allowed, especially when the said article protects the applicant's interest.

Opera Global Pvt. Ltd. vs Opera Hospital Medical And Research ... on 27 November, 2006

13. Further, Shri Sharma argued: That the very basis of the present petition is that and the justification given by the petitioner for filing the present petition is that it was mutually agreed at all times between the parties that the shareholding pattern in the R-1 company will be maintained at the level of 67.5% in favour of the petitioner company and the rest of the shareholding of 32.5% by the R-2 and his group. It was stated that there is no such understanding/agreement between the parties either in the Articles of Association of the R-1 company or otherwise. Without prejudice to the same it was stated that even if there was such an understanding between the parties, the same would be in the nature of a private agreement which cannot be given effect to unless these provisions have been incorporated in the Articles of Association of the R-1 company. Reliance is placed on the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in the case of V.B. Rangaraj v. V.B. Gopalakrishnan and the judgment of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court in the case of IL and FS Trust Co. Ltd. v. Birla Perucchini Ltd. 2004 Com case Vol 121 page 335 Bom.)

The Articles of Association of the company were duly amended for implementation of the provisions of this share holders agreement. On disputes arising, the petitioners sought a reference to arbitration under the arbitration agreement contained in Article 16 of the Subscription cum Share Holders Agreement dated 25th March, 2000.

20. The above decision was followed by the Bombay High Court in IL and FS Trust Co. Ltd. v. Birla Perucchini Ltd.[2004] 121 Comp Cas 335 (Bom). It was held that the decision of the Supreme Court could not be Co.A (SB) No. 102 of 2012 Page 11 of 15 confined only to a situation involving transfer of shares but also to other situations, including share subscription agreement which provided for continuance of the nominee of a certain group on the board of directors without any corresponding amendment to the AoA.
