Issues:
Petition filed under sections 391 to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956 for sanction of the Scheme of Amalgamation between two companies. Analysis: The petitioner-company, incorporated in West Bengal and later shifted to Karnataka, sought sanction for the Scheme of Amalgamation with the transferor-company, Mphasis FinSolutions Private Limited. The petitioner-company's share capital, business objectives, and financial standing were detailed in the petition. The Board of Directors approved the Scheme, leading to the initiation of meetings for shareholders and creditors. The transferor-company, initially AIG Systems Solutions Private Limited in Tamil Nadu, was described with its main business objectives. It was noted that the transferor-company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the petitioner-company, and upon the scheme's effectiveness, no shares of the petitioner-company would be allotted to the transferor-company's shareholders. The court directed the petitioner to publish notices in newspapers and comply with observations made by the Regional Director regarding accounting treatment. No opposition was raised during the hearing, and employees' interests were safeguarded in the amalgamation process. Consequently, the court allowed the petition, sanctioned the Scheme of Amalgamation, and mandated compliance with the Regional Director's observations and the High Court of Madras' sanction. The petitioner was instructed to serve a copy of the order to the Registrars of Companies in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu within a specified timeframe.
