RoC Mumbai moves for amendment to NCLAT order in Tata-Mistry case

The Registrar of Companies (RoC) on Monday moved the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) seeking an “impleadment” in the Tata-Mistry case and seeking amendments of the appellate tribunal’s last week’s order.

The RoC has sought amendments in the December 18, 2019 judgment to correctly reflect the conduct of RoC, Mumbai, as “not being illegal” and acted under the provisions of the Companies’ Act.

In its last week order, NCLAT has quashed the conversion of Tata Sons, the holding company of all Tata Group entities, into a private company from a public firm and had termed it “illegal”. The NCLAT had observed in its ruling that RoC had “helped” Tata Sons, the respondent in the case filed before the appellate tribunal.
