Shree Maheshwar Hydel Power Corporation Limited (SMHPCL). The shares of the said step down subsidiary Company were pledged with Power Finance Corporation (PFC) against the loan availed by SMHPCL. PFC illegally invoked these pledged shares on 2nd December, 2016. Against this illegal invocation Entegra approached Ministry of Corporate Affairs for justice under section 206 of the Companies Act. Apprehending the adverse report PFC moved National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) making false allegations against the promoters. NCLT on 15th June, 2017 ruled in favor of the Company and further declared among others that the invocation of the pledged shares was illegal. Against this judgment PFC appealed to National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCALT) and lost there too. NCLAT in their judgment dated 12th March 2018 upheld the NCLT order and made further observations.
