CIVIL APPEAL NO

CIVIL APPEAL NO

The meeting authorizing the share transfer was invalidly convened by a non-member, violating the Articles of Association and statutory requirements. The procedural defects rendered the sale and transfer of shares invalid, not binding, and unenforceable. Reliance on documentary evidence from the invalid meeting was incorrect; no legal transfer occurred.
