Class Action Suits:
Representative suit/action is not new in India ecosystem, Civil Prouder Code and Consumer Protection Act contains similar provisions, for representative suit/actions. But both the enactments are not suffice to counter the oppressive acts of companies and management thereof. Therefore first time in 2005, JJ Irani Report specifically advocated the need of such measures under Companies Act, in parallel to counterparts (i.e. USA, Singapore and UK). Subsequently in
2009, it gained its momentum with "India's Enron"- Satyam Fiasco case wherein financial accounts were manipulated. Thereafter in Companies Bill, 2009, class action suit was included as measures to be available with the Members and Creditors of the Company wherein as per their opinion affairs of the Company are conducted in manner prejudicial to the interest of the company, or its members and creditors.
Section 245 of the Companies Act, 2013 covers the said provisions and adjudicating authority will be NCLT only.
