THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.PRAVEEN KUMAR

WRIT PETITION No.17685 of 2020

ORDER:

This Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to declare the action of the respondents in deactivating Director Identification Numbers 06717297, 06717291, 06717293 and 06717300 of petitioner Nos.1 to 4 respectively, and restricting them from filing statutory returns i.e., annual returns and financial statements of the Companies in which they are Directors, as illegal and arbitrary.

  1. When the matter came up for hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned Assistant Solicitor General of India appearing for the respondents submitted that in similar facts and circumstances, the common High Court at Hyderabad disposed of a batch of Writ Petitions in W.P.No.17409 of 2018 and batch, dated 11.10.2018.

  2. In view of the same and following the order passed in W.P.No.17409 of 2018 and batch, dated 11.10.2018, this Writ Petition is also disposed of directing the respondents to restore the DIN numbers of the petitioners, if the companies in which they are disqualified are registered within the State of Andhra Pradesh, so as to enable them to submit annual returns and financial statements of the active companies in which they are Directors. It is also made clear that this order holds good only for active companies. There shall be no order as to costs.

Consequently, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
