(Hybrid Mode)

08.07.2026: This appeal is against an impugned order dated

07.04.2026 passed by the Ld. National Company Law Tribunal, Kolkata

Bench, in CP No. 165/KB/2025. It is alleged without adjudicating the

illegality complained of by the appellant, the Ld. NCLT has directed the

appellant to participate in the right issue by subscribing to Rs. 4,50,000/-

shares on payment of Rs. 1,35,00,000/-. It is submitted by the Ld. Counsel

for the appellant no notice was ever issued to the appellant herein qua the

EOGM wherein the right issue was declared.

2. It is argued by the appellant that an envelope via DTDC bearing no.

AWB No. K73943405 was sent to her on 11.08.2025 with a blank paper

inside it which was complained of by the appellant on 12.08.2025 itself.

However, the Ld. Sr. Counsel for the respondent vehemently dispute this

submission as incorrect and argues the entire documents as were required

Cont'd../ -2-

to be delivered to the appellant were duly sent and the appellant had prior

knowledge of the meeting to be held on 30.08.2025.

3. In any case, ld. Counsel for the appellant argues there exists an MoU

between Agarwals & Guptas, wherein the Agarwal family viz the appellant

herein was to move out of this company in the year 2022 and also referred to

Proposed Restructuring Note dated 14.04.2022 which read as under:

"M/s Tarama Apartment Pvt. Ltd.

Step 2

(b) Convert Faster Dealtrade Pvt. Ltd. into an LLP The turnover of Faster Dealtrade in FY 2019-20 was Rs.84 lacs i.e. more than Rs.60 lacs. Hence, Faster can be converted into LLP in FY 2023-24 after ensuring that the turnover in FY 2020-

21, FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23 is below Rs.60 lacs. The total assets of the company is also below Rs.5 crores in last 3 years.

Upon conversion of both the companies into LLP, the shareholders as per the table above shall become the partners in the LLP and their capital accounts shall be credited with the amount of share capital and reserves & surplus as per the books of accounts of the company as on the date of conversion. Step 3

(b) Faster Dealtrade LLP to be reconstituted wherein Mrs. Anita Agarwal to retire from the LLP. The amount standing to the credit of her capital account shall be paid to her upon such retirement.

Upon such reconstitution, both the LLPs shall be fully owned and controlled by RKG Group and these LLPs would continue to own 94.37% shares of Tarama Appartment Pvt. Ltd."

And also referred to the following:

Company Appeal (AT) No. 230 of 2026 -3-

4. Ld. Sr. Counsel for the respondent also referred to the list of dates

and the MoU wherein Mr. Abhishek Gupta, Chartered Accountant was

appointed to formalise the terms of understanding between the appellant

and the respondent groups and by which they were to distribute their

respective assets, control and shareholding of the company.

5. It is the submission of the Ld. Sr. Counsel for the respondent as per

the MoU, the present company was to come within the share of the

respondent herein. Further qua the right issue, a very fair suggestion was

given by the respondent before the Ld. NCLT that in case the appellants

alleges the illegality in issuing of right issue, they would offer Rs.4,50,000/-

shares to the appellants herein on payment of the corresponding share

money. Reference is also made to an order dated 10.11.2025 wherein the Ld.

NCLT recorded "the appellant was willing to pay a sum of Rs.1,35,00,000/-

for which a cheque was also presented on that day". However, later in order

Company Appeal (AT) No. 230 of 2026 -4-

dated 14.11.2025 as well as of date 19.11.2025, the appellant changed her

stance and alleged she shall deposit the amount in the Registry for issuance

of the shares but would not hand over the cheque to the company, which of

course, was objected to by the respondent and thus the impugned order was

passed.

6. Thus, in these circumstances, especially when it is only an interim

order and the Company Petition is listed for hearing, we are of the

considered view that no interference is required of this Tribunal. However,

since an objection is raised that no documents qua right issue were provided

to the appellants, therefore, we direct the respondents to provide the entire

set of documents concerning the right issue, if such a request is made. Such

documents are rather listed in paragraph (b) of the interim relief.

7. At this stage, the Ld. Counsel for the appellant also raised an issue

qua her prayer for injunction(s), not dealt with by the Ld. NCLT, hence, we

dispose of this appeal with a liberty to the appellant to move an appropriate

application before the Ld. NCLT qua such other further prayers, including

injunction(s) and such application be disposed of in accordance with law. No

opinion is given by us on merits. Pending I.A. Nos. 4143 & 4144 of 2026 are

also disposed of.
