This Letters Patent Appeal is directed against the judgment of a learned Single Judge of this Court dated 14.3.2003 whereby the writ petition challenging the order of the Company Law Board dated 8.12.2000, copy appended as Annexure P-1 has been dismissed. The facts of the case which have been largely taken from the writ petition are as under:-

Lala Jagat Narain, the father-in-law of petitioner No. 1 and grandfather of the petitioner Nos. 2 and 3 founded the Company known as the Hind Samachar Limited in the year 1949. Its main object was the printing and publishing of newspapers, journals, magazines etc. It is the legacy of Lala Jagat Narain and the Company, which he founded, which is the bone of contention in this bitter family feud. Lala Jagat Narain was shot and killed by terrorists on 9.9.1981 an event which signalled the onset of terrorism in the Punjab. After his death, his son Ramesh Chander, husband of petitioner No. 1 and father of petitioner Nos. 2 and 3 took over the reins as the Chief Executive of the Company. He too was gunned down on 12.5.1984. Petitioner Nos. 1 to 3, and petitioner Nos. 4 to 6 constitute a Hindu Undivided Family. Respondent No.
