2021 (2) TMI 1391 - HC - Companies LawChallenge to non-providing of a field for Advocates to register companies and LLPs on the current Ministry of Corporate Affairs portal - HELD THAT - A perusal of Section 7(1)(b) of the Companies Act 2013 clearly shows that Advocates can file documents for incorporation of a Company. This would be true even in the case of LLPs. The MCA s portal is however stated to have no provision made for Advocates who are members of Bar Councils and Bar Councils are not provided as an option in the list of Councils. If this is the position the same would be discriminatory qua Advocates and would need to be rectified. List on 23rd March 2021.
The petition challenges the non-provision of a field for Advocates to register companies and LLPs on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs portal. Advocates are currently unable to register companies/LLPs on behalf of their clients due to a tool kit issue. The court directs the appropriate authority to address this issue and file an affidavit within two weeks. Next hearing scheduled for 23rd March, 2021.
