The appellant M/s Delton Impex Private limited is a Private Company registered under the Companies Act, 1956 and is having its registered office at 3-B, Rupchand Roy Street, kolkata (W. B. ).

(3.) A bare perusal of the impugned order would reveal that learned district Judge, even after taking note of the fact that the reply filed on behalf of R1 to R4 did not bear signatures of anyone of them or their counsel, declined to make complaint against them for the reasons that from the material on record, only R5 appeared to be prima facie responsible not only for falsely representing himself as representative of the Company but also for filing a reply admitting the case of the plaintiffs viz. R1 to R4.
