           W. A. Nos. 611/2024, 616/2024 and 665/2024

                         =================

                  Dated this the 10th day of May, 2024


                                JUDGMENT

These writ appeals are filed challenging an interim order

dated 02.04.2024 in W.P(C)No.13448 of 2024 filed by one Rajeev

Vidyadharan and others. In W.A.No.611 of 2024, a further

interim order dated 09.04.2024 in W.P(C)No.13448 of 2024 is

also under challenge. The exhibits referred to in the judgment are

as they are marked in the said writ petition.

2. W.P(C)No.13448 of 2024 was filed seeking the

following reliefs:-

1. Issue a Writ of Certiorari or any other appropriate writ and quash Exhibit P-12 order and direct the 1 st Respondent to pass appropriate orders after hearing both sides in light of the findings of this Hon'ble Court in WP (C) 9427/2020.

2. Issue a Writ of Mandamus or such other writ directing the 1st Respondent to pass appropriate orders on Exhibit WA Nos. 611/2024, 616/2024 and 665/2024

P-8 Report after affording an opportunity for all parties to file written objections against the same and fresh hearing thereafter.

3. To issue a Writ of Mandamus or such other writ or order not to pass any other orders amending/modifying the Exhibit P7 order passed by the 1 st Respondent violating Exhibit P5 order of the hon'ble Supreme Court and violating the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 during the pendency of Company Appeal (AT) 6/2024 before the Hon'ble NCLAT.

3. Ext.P12 is an order of the National Company Law

Tribunal issued on a report filed by an Administrator appointed

in CP/21/KOB/2020. One of the main grounds taken was that

Ext.P7 order in WP(C)No.13448/2024 through which the

Administrator was appointed in respect of the company in

question (the appellant in W.A.No.665 of 2024) is already under

challenge before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal

and therefore further orders should not be passed on the basis of

the report of the Administrator.

4. The learned counsel appearing for the appellants

would point out that there is no stay of Ext.P7 order by the

National Company Law Appellate Tribunal. WA Nos. 611/2024, 616/2024 and 665/2024
