Ashneer Grover moves NCLT, alleges oppression, mismanagement at BharatPe
PrintAshneer Grover, former managing director of BharatPe, has moved the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Delhi, alleging opression and mismanagement at the company.
The case came up for hearing on December 6, wherein his lawyer sought additional time to address the tribunal on maintainability. The case will be heard next on January 11.
According to the plea, reviewed by Moneycontrol, Grover has filed the plea against BharatPe holding company Resilient Innovations and 11 of its directors including Shashvat Nakrani, Rajnish Kumar and John Bernard Weinstein. The plea alleges that Grover was ousted from the company in an 'arbitrary manner in excess exercise of powers in order clawback his restrictive shares illegally and without complying with law.'
Grover alleges in the plea that the arbitrary conduct of the board of directors of the company are demonstrated by them sending him on leave last year over a 'fabricated issue that had nothing with the company. The plea also states that the oppression and mismanagement of the company is evident from the exit of various key members from the company including its founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). According to the plea, the actions of the company through its board of directors have cause huge losses to the company.
Citing many such instances, Grover has asked the NCLT to
To declare the actions of the board of directors as oppressive;
Any change in management of the company by altering its board of directors as void
Direct an audit of BharatPe by Ministry of Corporate Affairs
To revert back any new shares/ESOPs since Grover's resignation in March 2023
Reinstate Grover as MD, revoke Madhuri Jain's termination
Remove board members inducted after Grover's resignation in March 2023
To retain his restricted shares in the company at price offered by the company for buy-back
For interim orders, Grover has asked NCLT to direct a status quo on the affairs of the company and to place two of his representatives on the board of the company.
