Tribunals Cannot Block First-Motion Scheme Merger Under Sections 230-232 Before Shareholder/Creditor Vote : NCLAT Chennai
NCLAT Chennai held that at the first-motion stage of a scheme merger under Sections 230-232 of the Companies Act 2013, tribunals cannot reject the scheme merely because shareholders and creditors have not yet voted; the matter must proceed to their approval. The ruling clarifies that premature tribunal interference undermines the statutory merger process and affects companies seeking amalgamations.
