Court's Decision & Legal Precedent
The Court held that the power under Section 87 to extend the time for intimating satisfaction of a charge is to be exercised on terms that are 'just and expedient', so that where the delay in filing Form CHG-4 was caused by the death of the founder-director during Covid and fell within the limitation period excluded by the Supreme Court's suo motu order, costs of Rs.2,00,000 imposed by the ROC were disproportionate and were reduced to Rs.50,000.
On this section: Fixes the content of the thirty-day intimation obligation under section 82(1) and the standard on which relief against delay in complying with it is granted.
