Commentary on the Companies Act, 2013 as Amended by the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2015

This book may be found to be useful to those studying company law in law universities and the faculty may also find it handy as a comprehensive discussion of the basics in company law, as laid down by the Companies Act, 2013.

• This book is a commentary on the Companies Act, 2013 which also includes the provisions of the newly enacted Companies (Amendment) Act, 2015.
• The principal objective has been to explain the basic principles of this new law on companies, illustrating the
  application of the law through relevant decisions of the Supreme Court.
• Since this Act and its predecessors have been largely patterned along the lines of the Companies Act, in force in the U.K., the corresponding sections of that law have been discussed in this book.
• Some of the landmark cases in company law laid down by the House of Lords and courts subordinate to it and which have been consistently relied upon by the Supreme Court of India have been quoted and discussed in this book in the belief that the readers would benefit by finding those cases all at one place.
• The comparative legislation in the U.S.A. and European Union with cases as necessary have been discussed, which may help those in pursuit of comparative law.
