Hello,

You may approach the High court and challenge the order of Roc for it being illegal, arbitrary and devoid of merit.

I advise you to contact a local lawyer with complete paper book and then move to the high court under article 226 of the constitution of india.

If the decision of the ROC is causing you worries or if you are aggrieved by this, you may prefer an appeal before the higher competent authority seeking relief and remedy by setting aside the said order.

Even if this not fetching you fruitful decision then you may approach court with a suit for mandatory injunction against the ROC restraining it from implementing/executing this ruling.
