The relevant extract of the Hon’ble Delhi High Court order dated 12.05.2023 in FAO(OS)(COMM) No. 280 of 2022 is reproduced herein below for ready reference:- “ 2. The issue has been mutually resolved by the parties and the consent affidavit for demerger has been signed by them to their satisfaction.” CA/186/2023 IN CP,/138/241-242/ND/2022 Date of Order: 14.07.2023 11. The sum and substance of the present Application and of the submissions of the parties is that the Parties have agreed to settle all their disputes on such agreed/consented terms for the demerger/division of the Respondent No.1 Company as signed by the Parties before the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi and presented before this Tribunal in document namely “AGREED TERMS OF DIVISION/DEMERGER OF SUPERON SCHWEISSTECHNIK INDIA LIMITED” which is annexed as ANNEXURE 3 of the present application. 12. The Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the order dated 27.04.2023 had categorically stated that, “The court is confident that once the consent affidavit is filed, the NCLT will consider the request of the parties for expeditious disposal of their case.” 13.The term Compromise and Arrangement, Re-organization and Reduction of Capital are not defined in the Companies Act, 2013 or the rules made thereunder. Therefore, in order to better appreciate the provisions, we would like to refer the meaning of the terminology as defined in the Major Law Lexicon dictionary. “Compromise” “Compromise” is an expression which implies the existence of a dispute such as relating to rights, which it seeks to settle among the parties.” 14.This Tribunal under the provisions of Section 242(1) of the Companies Act, 2013, has the power to make such order as it thinks fit, to end the matters complained of in the Company Petition. Further, this Tribunal can direct the division of the Respondent No.1 Company under the provisions of Section 242(2) of the Companies Act, 2013 for t purpose. ca/156/2023 IN P./138/241-242/ND/2022 Date of Order: 14.07.2023 15.At this juncture, it is relevant to refer the Hon’ble Supreme Court judgment in case M.S.D.C. Radharamanan vs. M.S.D. Chandrasekara Raja & Anr. (2008) 6 SCC 750, wherein it was held that in a matter under Sections 397 and 398 of the Companies Act, 1956 (equivalent to Sections 241 and 242 of the Companies Act, 2013), the powers of the Company Law Board are very wide and the CLB has the power to grant relief even if a case of oppression and mismanagement is not made out. 16. In the judgement Sishu RANJAN Dutta & Anr. vs. Bhola NATH Paper House Ltd. [ (1983) 53 Comp Cases 883 (Cal.), the CLB had exercised its powers on account of the company being a family concern, the possibility of an equitable division of the assets and business of the Company and on the consent given by the parties, the division of the assets and properties of the company into two groups was ordered. 17.It is pertinent to note the judgement in K.N. Bhargava vs. Trackparts of India Limited [(2001) 104 Comp Cases 611 (CLB)] wherein the CLB, in terms of the consent given by both the sides (‘petitioners as well as respondents) had proposed an interim arrangement of separation of the division of management of two units of the Company by two sets of Promoters.” 18.Adverting to the facts of the present case, the Respondent No.1 Company ie., M/s. Superon Schweisstechnik India Ltd. is currently jointly owned by two groups namely (i) SM Group and (ii) SDM Group having 50% shareholding each, with two divisions of its business ie., (i) The Domestic Business which is solely operated and managed by SM Group and (ii) The Export Business which is solely operated and managed by SDM Group. The parties had entered into consented terms before the ©A/156/2023 IN P./138/241-242/ND/2022 Date of Order: 14.07.2023 formally demerge the Respondent No.1 Company on such terms as envisaged in “AGREED TERMS OF DIVISION/DEMERGER OF SUPERON SCHWEISSTECHNIK INDIA LIMITED” to put an end to the dispute between the parties. 19.This Tribunal is of the considered view that with a view to put an end to the dispute of the parties, it has the power to order the division of the Respondent No.1 Company on the basis of the “Agreed Terms of Division/Demerger of Superon Schweisstechnik India Limited”. Accordingly, considering the conspectus of facts and the submissions made by the parties, this Tribunal hereby order for division/demerger of the Respondent No.1 Company by exercising the powers vested with this Tribunal under Section 242 of the Companies Act, 2013 and takes on record the “AGREED TERMS OF DIVISION/DEMERGER OF SUPERON SCHWEISSTECHNIK INDIA LIMITED” which is annexed as ANNEXURE 3 of the present application. 20. The parties are directed to comply with the same in true spirit and sense and take all the necessary steps required and follow the necessary procedure to give effect to the agreed terms of division. 21. This Tribunal clarifies that as a consequence of Compromise between the Respondent No.1 Company and its Shareholders (SM Group and SDM Group), the parties are at liberty to take the necessary steps and actions as required to give effect to the demerger/division of the Respondent No.1 Company as per the “Agreed Terms of Division/Demerger of Superon Schweisstechnik India Limited’.
