O R D E R

Per: Smt. Bidisha Banerjee, Member (Judicial)

1) This Company Petition has been filed by Rakesh Mehta as one of the

shareholders of the Struck-off Company inter alia under section

252(3) of the Companies Act, 2013 for restoration of name of the

struck off company in the Register Of Companies, maintained in the

office of the Registrar of Companies, West Bengal. It is stated that the

name of Vishal Carewell Tours & Travels Private Limited (CIN:

U63040WB1999PTC088610) (“Company” / “Petitioner Company”)

was struck off on 03.02.2022

2) Notices were issued to the Registrar of Companies, West Bengal. The

Registrar of Companies, West Bengal has submitted a report with

copy to the petitioner. It was stated in the report that the name of the

Company was struck of under section 248(1) of the Companies Act

2013 since the RoC, West Bengal had reasonable cause to believe that

the Company was not carrying on its business or was in operation for

the preceding 2 years from the strike-off since the company had not

filed its statutory return after the financial year ended on 31.03.2018.

3) It is submitted by the Petitioner that such non-filing of the statutory

returns for the relevant years occurred inter alia due to inadvertence

and such lapse was neither intentional nor with any mala fide

intention.

4) The Ld. Counsel for the Petitioner prayed for passing of an order for

restoration of the name of the Company to the register.
