Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fastest way to resolve a commercial dispute in India?
For disputes with an arbitration clause, invoking arbitration is typically faster than civil court (3-18 months vs 5-10 years). For urgent injunctions, the Commercial Courts Act 2015 provides fast-track procedures. Summary judgments for undisputed commercial claims (Order XXXVII, CPC) can also deliver quick results. Our corporate litigation lawyers assess the fastest forum based on your specific dispute.
Documents we usually review first
- Company incorporation records, board resolutions, and shareholder documents.
- Contracts, invoices, notices, ledgers, email trail, and supporting correspondence.
- Financial statements, bank papers, tax filings, or regulatory submissions linked to the dispute.
- Any prior legal notice, reply, order, appeal, or settlement draft.
How the engagement typically moves
- Initial review of facts, documents, forum, and urgency.
- Issue spotting, legal position mapping, and commercial risk assessment.
- Drafting, filing, reply, negotiation, or hearing preparation based on the matter stage.
- Follow-through on interim relief, final order strategy, or settlement execution.
Strategic checkpoints
- Clarify the exact trigger, forum, timeline, and commercial objective before action starts.
- Review documentary strength before any formal filing or reply is finalized.
- Choose a path that balances legal defensibility with speed, cost, and settlement leverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below FAQs are included to cover follow-up questions Google and AI answer engines commonly expand on for this service.
What is oppression and mismanagement under Companies Act 2013?
Under Section 241 of the Companies Act 2013, members can petition NCLT if the affairs of the company are being conducted in a manner prejudicial to their interests or in a manner oppressive to any member. This covers actions like fraudulent asset stripping, exclusion of members from management, irregular share allotments, and siphoning of company funds.
How many shares do I need to file an oppression petition before NCLT?
Under Section 244 of the Companies Act 2013, at least 100 members or 1/10th of the total members (whichever is less) can file. In a company with share capital, members holding at least 1/10th of the paid-up share capital can also petition. NCLT has power to waive this requirement in exceptional cases where it deems it just and equitable to do so.
Can NCLT order a buyout of my shares in a shareholder dispute?
Yes. Under Section 242 of the Companies Act 2013, NCLT has wide powers including ordering any member or the company to purchase shares at a fair value determined by an independent valuer. This is a common remedy in shareholder deadlock situations where the relationship between co-founders has irretrievably broken down.
How long does a shareholder dispute case take at NCLT?
Interim orders such as status quo or asset-freezing injunctions can be obtained within 2–4 weeks of filing in urgent cases. Final disposal of contested oppression and mismanagement petitions typically takes 1–3 years depending on complexity. Cases where parties reach a negotiated settlement during proceedings are resolved significantly faster.
Can I resolve a shareholder dispute without going to NCLT?
Yes — many shareholder disputes are resolved through commercial negotiation, mediation, or arbitration (if the shareholder agreement has an arbitration clause). We always explore settlement first, using NCLT as a backstop. However, for urgent matters involving asset stripping or fraudulent share transfers, immediate NCLT intervention may be the only effective remedy.
Can a director be removed without following the Section 169 procedure?
No. Under Section 169 of the Companies Act 2013, removal of a director requires a 28-day special notice to the company, the director must be given an opportunity to be heard (written representation read at the meeting), and an ordinary resolution must be passed. Failure to follow this procedure renders the removal void. An aggrieved director can challenge this before NCLT or the High Court and seek reinstatement.
What happens when a director's DIN is disqualified under Section 164?
Under Section 164(2) of the Companies Act 2013, a director is disqualified if the company has not filed financial statements or annual returns for 3 consecutive years, or has failed to repay deposits/debentures. A disqualified director is barred from appointment as director in any company for 5 years. The disqualification can be challenged before the High Court by way of a writ petition, particularly if the director was not responsible for the company default.
How do I resolve a board deadlock in a private company?
Board deadlocks in private companies can be resolved through shareholders passing a resolution at a general meeting, through a negotiated buyout of one founder's stake, or through NCLT if the deadlock constitutes oppression or mismanagement. Accorg handles both the commercial negotiation and the legal route, choosing based on urgency, relationship status, and cost-effectiveness.
Can a Managing Director be removed mid-term?
Yes. Under Section 202 of the Companies Act 2013, a Managing Director or Whole-Time Director can be removed before the expiry of their term. However, if removed without reasonable cause and without compensation for the unexpired term, they may claim damages from the company. The SHA and appointment letter provisions must be reviewed carefully before initiating removal.
