cutting the fifty trees) to Yash. Vyas wants to know whether the sale of timber tantamounts

to sale of immovable property. Advise him with reference to provisions of "General Clauses

Act, 1897”.

(4 Marks)

Answer:

1. “Immovable Property” [Section 3(26) of the General Clauses Act, 1897]: ‘Immovable

Property’ shall include:

(i) Land,

(ii) Benefits to arise out of land, and

(iii) Things attached to the earth, or

(iv) Permanently fastened to anything attached to the earth.

It is an inclusive definition. It contains four elements: land, benefits to arise out of

land, things attached to the earth and things permanently fastened to anything

attached to the earth. Where, in any enactment, the definition of immovable property

is in the negative and not exhaustive, the definition as given in the General Clauses

Act will apply to the expression given in that enactment.

In the instant case, Vyas sold Land along with timber (obtained after cutting trees) of

fifty tamarind trees of his land. According to the above definition, Land is

immovable property; however, timber cannot be immovable property since the

same are not attached to the earth.

(A) of the first offer of securities included therein which shall indicate a period

not exceeding one year as the period of validity of such prospectus which

shall commence from the date of opening of the first offer of securities

under that prospectus, and

(B) in respect of a second or subsequent offer of such securities issued during the

period of validity of that prospectus, no further prospectus is required.

(2) The other formalities related to such repeated/subsequent issue of shares- A

company filing a shelf prospectus shall be required to file an information

first or previous offer of securities and the succeeding offer of securities and

3. The Director of Happy Limited proposed dividend at 12% on equity shares for the financial year 2016-17. The same was approved in the annual general meeting of the company held on 20th September, 2017. The Directors declared the approved dividends. Analysing the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, give your opinion on the following matters:

(i) Mr. A, holding equity shares of face value of ` 10 lakhs has not paid an amount of ` 1 lakh towards call money on shares. Can the same be adjusted against the dividend amount payable to him?

(ii) Ms. N was the holder of 1,000 equity shares on 31st March, 2017, but she has transferred the shares to Mr. R, whose name has been registered on 20th May, 2017. Who will be entitled to the above dividend?

Answer:

1. (i) The given problem is based on the proviso provided in the section 127 (d) of the

Companies Act, 2013. As per the law where the dividend is declared by a

company and there remains calls in arrears and any other sum due from a

member, in such case no offence shall be deemed to have been committed

where the dividend has been lawfully adjusted by the company against any

sum due to it from the shareholder.

As per the facts given in the question, Mr. A is holding equity shares of face value of

` 10 Lakhs and has not paid an amount of ` 1 lakh towards call money on shares. Referring to the above provision, Mr. A is eligible to get ` 1.20 lakh towards dividendout of which an amount of ` 1 lakh can be adjusted towards call money due on his shares. ` 20,000 can be paid to him in cash or by cheque or in any electronic mode.

According to the above mentioned provision, company can adjust sum of ` 1 lakh due towards call money on shares against the dividend amount payable to Mr. A.

(ii) According to section 123(5), dividend shall be payable only to the registered shareholder of the share or to his order or to his banker. Facts in the given case state that Ms. N, the holder of equity shares transferred the shares to Mr. R whose name has been registered on

20th May 2017. Since, he became the registered shareholder before the declaration of the

dividend in the Annual general meeting of the company held on 20th September 2017, so, Mr. Raj will be entitled to the dividend

4. ) A company issued a prospectus. All the statements contained therein were literally true. It also stated that the company had paid dividends for a number of years, but did not disclose the fact that the dividends were not paid out of trading profits, but out of capital profits. An allottee of shares wants to avoid the contract on the ground that the prospectus was false in material particulars. Discuss can he do so?

Answer:

(a) The non disclosure of the fact that dividends were paid out of capital profits is a concealment of material fact as a company is normally required to distribute dividend only from trading or revenue profits and under exceptional circumstances can do so out of capital profits. Hence, a material misrepresentation has been made. Hence, in the given case the allottee can avoid the contract of allotment of shares
