Restoration of company name in the register of companies under section 560(6) of the Companies Act, 1956. Analysis: The petitioner-company sought direction under section 560(6) of the Companies Act, 1956, to restore its name in the register of companies and other consequential orders. The company was incorporated with specific business objectives related to agriculture and agro-based products. Despite the company being in operation and having a commercial presence, it discovered its name was struck off the register when attempting to file annual documents in October 2008. The petitioner emphasized the absence of creditors, operational activities as per audited balance sheets, and readiness of promoter directors to infuse funds for full-fledged business operations. The petitioner argued that shareholders would suffer financially if the company's name was not restored, with no prejudice to any party. After evaluating the petition and arguments, the court found merit in the petitioner's case for restoration under section 560(6) of the Act. The court noted the petitioner's compliance with requirements and allowed the petition, directing the respondent to restore the company's name in the register as if it was never struck off. The petitioner was instructed to provide a copy of the order to the Registrar for further proceedings in accordance with the Act and Rules. No costs were awarded in the judgment.
