Thus, the marking of the company as having management dispute was not the subject-matter of the writ petition but that of an appropriate challenge before a different forum. A perusal of the Master Circular dated February 10, 2012 makes it clear that Clause 3 thereof is independent of Clause 2, the latter merely contemplating the requirement of the company to mandatorily file the attachment relating to cause of cessation along with Form 32 of the ROC concerned, irrespective of the ground of cessation - Clause 3 of the Circular still remains in force and restr .....
