The petition filed u/s 213(b) of the Companies Act, 2013 alleged that the business of the respondent companies was being conducted with intent to defraud creditors, members, or others, or for fraudulent or unlawful purposes, or oppressively. However, the averments were not supported by material documents to substantiate such allegations. The documents filed failed to corroborate the allegations of fraudulent or unlawful conduct by the respondent company. The petitioner failed to make a prima facie case u/s 213(b). Consequently, the tribunal dismissed the petition in limine for lack of sufficient evidence to warrant appointing an inspector to investigate the respondent companies' affairs.
