- Ashish Middha, Adv. for the Appellant.

Facts of the Case
In the instant case, the RoC struck off the name of the appellant company from the register of companies on the grounds that the appellant company had not filed its financial statements and Annual Returns and the company was non-operational.
The appellant company filed an appeal under section 252 before NCLT challenging striking off its name from the register of companies by RoC and seeking restoration of its name in the register of companies, however, NCLT rejected same.
The appellant filed the instant appeal on the ground that the NCLT had failed to appreciate that as per section 248 and rule 3 of the Companies (Removal of Names of Companies from Register of Companies) Rules, 2016, the respondent had not issued notices to the company and all its directors before striking off the name of the company.
NCLAT Held
The NCLAT noted that respondent No. 2-Income Tax Authorities had filed its reply, stating that the appellant company had been regularly filing its Income Tax Returns and no other proceedings were pending as per the ITBA portal. In view of the fact that the appellant company had substantial movable as well as immovable assets, it could not be said that the appellant company was not carrying on any business or operations, therefore, order passed by NCLT and RoC was not sustainable in law.
