  1. The Applicant Companies have placed reliance on the case of Ambuja Cements Ltd. in CA (AT) No. 19 of 2021 dated 06.04.2021 in which the Hon’ble NCLAT has dealt with a similar issue related to the dispensation of meetings of the Creditors/Shareholders in cases of Merger/Amalgamation of a Wholly Owned Subsidiary and its Parent company/Holding Company. In this regard, the Hon’ble NCLAT has observed as under:

“29. From the perusal of the pleadings it is amply clear that the Appellant Company is a 100% holding of its Subsidiary i.e. the transferor Company. Therefore, there is no issuance of any new shares, there is no reorganisation of share capital of the Appellant Company and no arrangement wherein shareholders have to compromise with creditors of the Transferor Company. Further, we have also seen that the net worth of the Appellant Company is highly positive in compare to the net worth of the Transferor Company.

39. In view of the forgoing reasons we set aside the order of the learned NCLT dated 10.12.2020 in CA (CAA) No. 50 of 2020. Accordingly, we dispense with the meetings of the Equity shareholder, Secured and Unsecured Creditors of the Appellant Company ..... "

  1. The dispensation have been sought by the Applicant Companies on the ground that the Transferor Company is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Transferee Company. Further, on the implementation of scheme, no fresh shares are proposed to be issued by the Transferee Company. The Applicant Companies have contended that the Scheme doesn’t envisage any reduction, waiver, or extinguishment of debts owed to both Secured and Unsecured Creditors, thus it in no way compromises or affects the rights of such creditors. Additionally, a CA certified copy of post-scheme financial position of Transferee Company has been placed on record by the Applicant Companies which reflects the continuity of positive net worth post implementation of the Scheme.
