Case Law Related To Mergers And Acquisitions Of Banking Companies

 In Shrikant Bhujaballi Bahirshet and others vs Shamrao Vithal Co-Operative Bank Limited, Mumbai.

 The facts of the case are the appellant was an employee of Mahavir Co-operative Bank Ltd. (MCBL) was not doing well and was in financial doldrums and was merged into Respondent Bank. As Appellant was obsolete in the year 2003 and had been paid his retirement benefits on such superannuation. Jurisdictional blunders or mistake bringing about unsuccessful labour of equity submitted by subordinate Courts or Tribunals can be amended by practising powers u/craftsmanship. 226 of Constitution, and that it isn't legitimate to hold that jurisdictional blunders or mistake bringing about premature delivery of equity submitted by subordinate Courts or Tribunals can be rectified distinctly by practising powers under article 227 of Constitution. The court held Labour Court didn't answer the issue of obligation of Respondent Bank on the ground that said the issue didn't get by for thought as it had reached a resolution that case of Appellants did not depend on any prior right and therefore Application u/s. 33C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act was not viable. It is likewise required to be noticed that Respondent Bank had restricted application documented by Appellants entomb Alia on grounds referenced in its Written Statement which included refusal of its risk to pay sum guaranteed by Appellants. Additionally, no such issue was raised and conflicts progressed as respects presence or non-presence of previous right in Appellants. In Re: Equitas Finance Limited, spoke to by its Chief Financial Officer Vasudevan S, Chennai and others[2], Petitioner Companies, i.e., Transferor Company no. 1, Transferor Company no. 2 and Transferee Company, mutually recorded petitions looking for authorization of Scheme of Amalgamation. Whether, Scheme of Amalgamation, as proposed, could be authorized with or without change. Authorizing of bargain or plan doesn't chain Court from postponing the date of real amalgamation/merger of substances. For this situation, an amalgamation of transferor Company nos. 1 and 2 with transferee Company are subject to the issuance of banking permitted by RBI and, thusly, issuance of the permit is reliant on HC authorizing Scheme. The court held that the scheme conceives merger of transferor Company nos. 1 and 2 with transferee Company. Investors and made sure about lenders of every one of solicitor organizations have given their agreement to Scheme. Be that as it may, Scheme can neither give clear selected date nor would it be able to fix share trade proportion. What adds further turn to the circumstance is that Scheme without anyone else can't accommodate disintegration of transferor Company nos. 1 and 2, but, without twisting up, maybe, for a similar explanation that there is plausibility, that RBI may not give a permit to the amalgamated organization/blended substance. s. 394 (1) of Act gives such space to Court, Therefore, since the testimony of RD and report of OL show that undertakings of transferor Company nos. 1 and 2 are not completed in a way biased to its part or open, Scheme can be authorized, with the admonition, that transferor Companies will move applications for their disintegration, yet, without ending up inside 30 days of the compelling date.
