O R D E R % 11.10.2019
The issue involved in these cases pertains to action taken by the Registrar of Companies, Goa situated outside the territorial jurisdiction of this Court and under identical situations, on account of lack of territorial jurisdiction we had refused to interfere in such matters earlier.
Accordingly, these petitions are also dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to file appropriate petitions before the Courts having territorial
jurisdiction over the matter.
All the pending applications shall also stand disposed of.
