The issued, subscribed and paid-up share capital of the Respondent No.l Company is Rs.50 lakhs divided into 50,000 equity shares of Rs.100/-. The Company was originally promoted by Mr. Ishwarlal Mehta and Mr. Makarand Kharadkar who were the initial subscribers and the First Directors of the Company.

(3.) It is alleged in the Petition that when the Petitioner No.l applied for duplicate share certificates from the Respondent No.l Company with respect to some shares which were purported to have been transferred to the Petitioner No.2, there was no response from the Company. It is an admitted position that even though the original share certificates are not available with either Petitioner No.l or Petitioner No.2, the Petitioner No.l is continued to be shown as a shareholder in the Register of Members. On 24.12.2013, an Extra-Ordinary Meeting of the Company was held and the Petitioner No.l was served with a Notice of the said Meeting. During the said Meeting Respondent No.2 and 3 sought to move a Resolution to increase the authorised share capital to Rs.1,10,00,000/-. However, majority shareholders voted against the said Resolution seeking to increase the authorised share capital. Petitioner No.1's efforts in not finding share certificates prompted him to issuer a letter dated 09.04.2017 for which there was no response from the Respondent Company, which act has been apprehended as an "oppressive" act prejudicial to the interest of the Company and the Petitioners.;
