Tracstar Investments Limited And Anr. vs Gordon Woodroffe Limited And Ors. on 8 November, 1995
37. The main grounds for this objection as revealed from the replies to the petition and also elaborated during arguments are that complicated questions of law and facts are involved in this case and that the petitioner has made a lot of allegations that there has been collusion between the parties, that the entire transaction was with mala fide and fraudulent intention, etc., and as such the matter has to be tried and oral evidence has to be taken which cannot be done in a summary proceeding under Section 111(4). We had an occasion to examine similar objections, as rightly pointed out by Shri Sarkar in Kothari Industrial Corporation Ltd.'s case [1994] 81 Comp Cas 617 (CLB); [1994] 1 CLJ 178. After dealing with various case law on the subject, in that case, we came to the conclusion that it would not be correct to put any restriction on the discretion of the Company Law Board in dealing with such matters and the decision either to proceed with the case or to relegate the parties to a suit would purely depend on the facts and circumstances of a case.
