No. 4 of 2023 filed in CS 306 of 2022 [The Punjab Produce and
Trading Co. Private Limited and Ors. vs. Harsh Vardhan
Lodha & Ors.]
On behalf of proforma defendant no.5 and 6it is submitted by relying
upon a video clip of the said meeting which is said to have been disclosed by
the plaintiffs in a pen drive annexed to the application in a sealed cover and
played in Court that it is apparent therefrom that the meeting did not
actually take place on 18th August, 2025. There was no discussion on any of
the agenda. The defendant no.1 without consent of the other members of the
governing body appointed the defendant no.4 as the Chairman of the said
meeting which is contrary to the regulations of the said society. A prepared
resolution brought to the venue were only read out at the meeting to project
that the resolutions have been passed by raising of hands by the defendant
no.1, 2 and 4 and thereby adopted. In the said meeting an outsider was
present which is contrary of the regulations of the said society and as such
the said meeting is invalid on that ground alone. Furthermore there were
13
three members who had admittedly attended the said meeting and had
objected to the resolutions said to have been adopted in the said meeting by
not raising their hands or voting in favour of the same. There were as such
three members voting in favour of the resolutions allegedly adopted in the
said meeting while three were against the same. The resolutions, therefore,
cannot be construed to have been passed by the majority and as such void.
The contention that the President had the casting vote which on being
exercised had the effect of passing the resolutions according to the said
defendants cannot also be found from the video clip of the said meeting. The
President (defendant no.1), therefore, did not exercise his casting vote and as
such the resolutions cannot and could not have been passed or adopted at
the said meeting. The meeting is illegal and invalid, the resolutions adopted
therein are illegal and void. These resolutions cannot and could not be
construed to have been adopted in a valid meeting for which the same can be
either enforced or acted upon. The minutes of the meeting, therefore, should
be set aside and/or quashed and as an ad interim measure the same should
be stayed. It is further submitted by the proforma defendant nos.5 and 6
that as a Treasurer the proforma defendant no.5 had the authority to sign
the cheques along with the Secretary of the said society being the plaintiff
no.2. The cheques prepared by the society for payment of salary to the
teaching and non-teaching staff of the educational institutes after being
signed by the proforma defendant no.5 were sent to the defendant no.1 but
was not counter-signed. In a designed manner in collusion and conspiracy
14
with each other the defendant nos.1, 2, 3 and 4 want to eliminate the
plaintiff no.2, the proforma defendant nos.5 and 6 from society. As a prelude
to such designed act the said defendants have changed the authorized
signatories so that any amount at the whims of the defendant no.1 can be
approved, sanctioned and paid without there being any resistance from the
side of either the proforma defendant no.5 or the plaintiff no.2 even if such
payments are found to be illegal and wrongful.
Nibro Ltd. vs National Insurance Co. Ltd. on 6 March, 1990
2. AIR 1991 Del. 25 (Nibro Ltd. v. National Insurance Co. Ltd.)
Relying upon the aforesaid two judgments, it is submitted by the said
defendants that the plaintiff no. 2 complaint of at the highest
irregularities and not illegality. Alleged irregularity in connection with the
meeting cannot be a ground for which an interlocutory injunction sought
for has to be granted. The plaintiffs are, therefore, not entitled to any
order of injunction against the resolutions taken at the meeting of the
governing body of the society on 18th August, 2025. That apart and in
any event the suit could not have been instituted by the plaintiff no. 2 on
behalf of plaintiff no. 1 as there is no resolution authorizing the plaintiff
no. 2 to sign and verify the plaint or institute the suit only on that
ground no ad interim order can be passed at this stage.
