As per case facts, the appellant company initiated a public issue of equity shares, which was oversubscribed. Subsequently, a group of individuals, seemingly to avoid liabilities from illegal speculative share
...transactions, filed multiple frivolous and vexatious suits across different courts, seeking injunctions to prevent the allotment and trading of shares. They alleged that the company failed to obtain necessary permissions from stock exchanges under Section 73 of the Companies Act, leading to interim orders against the company. These actions prompted the company to appeal to the Supreme Court and seek transfer of the suits. The central legal question arose as to whether these various suits, filed without proper jurisdiction and often with ex parte interim orders, constituted judicial adventurism designed to obstruct the company's public issue process and whether the courts below erred in granting such orders without proper examination of jurisdiction and cause of action. Finally, the Supreme Court unequivocally disapproved of the respondents' judicial adventurism, finding that the suits were frivolous, vexatious, and filed in courts lacking jurisdiction, and that the interim orders were improperly obtained without notice. The court ordered the transfer of all related suits to the seniormost Civil Judge at the Ahmedabad City Civil Court for consolidation and trial with an existing suit. It further directed each contesting respondent to pay a penalty to the appellant for their actions.
