Description
This book has been acclaimed in the past for its several features, such as comprehensive coverage, exhaustive case law, practice tips, lucidity, etc. In these eight years, since the last edition was released, a sea change has taken place in the field of transfer of shares of listed companies, both as regards law and procedure, thanks to the arrival and stay of depository system. This was indeed a revolution in the Indian stock market and has been responsible to change its face, mainly on account of efforts taken by SEBI.
The present edition of the book has been thoroughly revised, incorporating all changes that have taken place in law and judgments delivered by courts and the Company Law Board. Section 111A has been commented upon and all reported cases have been dealt with in Chapter 15.
Chapter 11, 'Transfer of shares of listed companies', substantially based on now-omitted section 22A of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act 1956 has been retained for its historical and reference value.
A significant contribution of this edition is the amplification of Chapter 17 on Depository System. The commentary in the Chapter has been supplemented by the plethora of rules, regulations circulars, guidelines, etc. on Depository.
