Said Aniket Anantrai Shah tried to convince late Mukundbhai Saheba and petitioners 2 to 4 to sign and execute the transfer forms after illegally obtaining share certificates of the respondent company from the deceased Mukundbhai Saheba and petitioners 2 to 4 but deceased Mukundbhai Saheba and petitioners 2 to 4 did not agree to execute the transfer form.

..... said to have been signed by deceased Mukundbhai Saheba and second petitioner, the respondent company itself refused to transfer shares in the name of Jitendra Sankalchand Gandhi on the ground that the signatures of transferees i.e. Mukundbhai Saheba and Indiraben Saheba (2nd petitioner) are different/not tallying with the specimen signatures recorded with the company. As can be seen from the letter dated 21.3.2005 addressed to Jitendra Sankalchand Gandhi the company has clearly asked Jitendra Sankalchand Gandhi to approach Mukundbhai Saheba or join party in civil suit 3567 of 1996 in the Civil Court of Ahmedabad. From the last correspondence made by the respondent company dated 11.06.2012 it appears that no steps have been taken by Jitendra Sankalchand Gandhi in response to the company's letter dated 21.03.2005. 17.
