Registrar is not in a position to take a decision When removal of Director is pending consideration before NCLT: Calcutta HC

The Calcutta High Court has ruled that a Registrar is not in a position to make a decision on the removal of a director when the matter is "pending before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT)." The court's decision reinforces the principle of judicial hierarchy and the role of specialized tribunals. It clarifies that once a matter is seized by the NCLT, which has the primary jurisdiction over such company law issues, the Registrar should not proceed with any action until the tribunal's decision is rendered.
