Issues:
Approval of scheme of amalgamation between transferor and transferee companies. Analysis: The petition was filed for the sanction of the scheme of amalgamation between International Informatics Solutions (P.) Ltd. ('transferor company') and ISCT Information Technology Ltd. ('transferee company'). The scheme was approved by the board of directors and shareholders of both companies. The purpose of the amalgamation was claimed to be for the benefit of all parties involved, leading to economies of scale, reduction in administrative work, and better resource utilization. No pending proceedings under relevant sections of the Companies Act, 1956, were reported. Notice was duly served to the Official Liquidator, Central Government, and public, with no objections raised by any party. The Official Liquidator reported that the affairs of the transferor company were not conducted in a prejudicial manner, suggesting dissolution without winding up. The Regional Director of Company Affairs also confirmed in an affidavit that the interests of members and public were not adversely affected by the companies' conduct. After considering all submissions and records, the judge found no objections to the scheme of amalgamation from the concerned parties. Consequently, the judge sanctioned the scheme of amalgamation, declaring it binding on all shareholders of both companies, with all assets, liabilities, and reserves transferring to the transferee company. The judge directed the Registry to issue a formal order, to be filed with the Registrar of Companies within 30 days. The parties involved were granted the liberty to seek further directions from the Court if necessary. The judgment concluded by approving the scheme of amalgamation and outlining the legal procedures to be followed for its implementation.
