Issued notice to the petitioners and also suspended the election proceedings vide order, dated 30- 1-1995. Thereafter, show-cause notice was also issued to the petitioners for violating the order of the Member.
2. I have gone through the provisions of section 22-A(8)(g) and the other provisions of the I.R.O. And note that the N.I.R.C. Had no jurisdiction whatsoever in the matter of the election of a company because it is for the members of the Company alone to elect persons in accordance with the Companies Ordinance and the Memorandum and Articles and Association of the company. Even if there is any irregularity or illegality in such election that competent forum for deciding any such dispute is this Court under the Companies Ordinance. It is clear that the N.I.R.C. Has no jurisdiction in the matter. This petition is, therefore, allowed and the impugned orders are set aside. revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
