Case Overview

This is a Company Petition (C.P.(CAA)/30(AHM)2026 in C.A.(CAA)/13(AHM)2026) filed by Ankur Scientific Energy Technologies Pvt. Ltd. and ANJ Infrabuild Pvt. Ltd. (the Applicant Companies) on 11.06.2026 under Sections 230-232 of the Companies Act, 2013. The petition seeks approval for a Composite Scheme of Amalgamation between the two petitioner companies. The Tribunal's First Motion order was passed on 13.04.2026 in CA(CAA)/13(AHM)2026. That order had dispensed with the requirement to convene meetings of the equity shareholders of the applicant companies. It had directed the convening and holding of meetings of the secured and unsecured creditors of the Demerged Company, while noting that there were no secured or unsecured creditors in the Resulting Company. Chairman's reports dated 01.06.2026, which approved the scheme, have been placed on record.

The principal purpose of this hearing was for the admission of the petition and to issue directions for the next steps in the process, including publication and notices to statutory authorities.
