Per: Shri Rohit Kapoor, Hon’ble Member (Judicial):
1) This Company Petition has been filed by the shareholder of Rose Valley
Investment Consultants Private Limited u/s 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 the Company was struck off on
24.08.2018.
2) It is contended that the Company had not filed the Annual Returns of the
Company for the financial year ended 2015-2016, 2016-2017, 2017-2018,
2018-2019, 2019-2020 & 2020-2021 due to inadvertent mistake and it will be
unfair to the shareholders and the Company if the struck-off company is not
revived. Upon the said contentions, the Authorised Representative for the
Petitioner prays for passing of an order for restoration of the name of the
struck-off company.
3) Notices were issued to the Registrar of Companies, West Bengal. The Registrar
of Companies, West Bengal has submitted a report. It was stated in the report
that only after compliance of the requirements to be met under Section 248 of
the Companies Act, 2013, Registrar of Companies, West Bengal has struck-off
the name of the company from the register.
