1) you cannot be forced to exit the company if the incumbent directors have misappropriated funds and reduced valuation of company to zero

2) you have invested substantial sums of money and should get some return on your investments

Now , i have had the value since the judge has ordered to receive the financials, but the other shareholder who is none than the MD having taken all the controls of the company has done everything so that the value is O

how can a judge make me exit if i have invested the totality of the amount and if i exit with NOTHING ?

The new MD's evaluation of the company to the zero level may be due to the past events i.e., embezzlements or misappropriations by the former MD or directors. It should not render you with nothing especially when you have invested and have ample proofs for your investment. You can fight it out through court of law, consult an advocate in taking up the matter through the necessary legal forum for relief and solace.

Hi

your case is a classic case of oppression and mismanagement.

The judge would have ordered for financials and based on the financials so received ,you should now file the case of oppression and mismanagement under Sections 241-246 of Companies Act 2013.

Section 241 provides that an application for relief can be made to the Tribunal in case of oppression and mismanagement. Section 244(1) provides for the right to apply to Tribunal under Section 241,

Oppression as defined by Various Courts under Companies Act.

Hope this helps.

that order is ultra vires because civil court has no jurisdiction over company matters. company board and tribunal has jurisdiction. you are the highest share holder of the company, Shareholders and the Company are two different entities, founder of company cannot be expelled in AGM only. according to section 284, vote of at least 60% share holder is necessary.

You have the option of not pressing your prayer for exit from the company as you will be the loser if you press it.
