SONICA MALHOTRA Vs. GURCHARAN SINGH SYAL

JUDGEMENT

LOOKING to the fact that CAPP No.39 of 2013 being an appeal under S.10 (f) of the Companies Act, 1956 against the order of the Company Law Board ('CLB') is pending in this Court and that no interim order has been passed therein, the directions of the CLB contained in para.73 of the order dated December 9, 2013 in appeal continue to operate.
