# Calcutta HC junks Centre nod for HNG office shift from Bengal to Maharashtra 2026-08-08T16:19:24+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Calcutta High Court has held that Hindusthan National Glass & Industries Ltd. (HNGIL) cannot shift its registered office from West Bengal to Maharashtra while appeals against its approved insolvency resolution plan are pending before the NCLAT. A division bench quashed the Regional Director's approval, ruling it violated the second proviso to Rule 30(9) of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014. This provision bars shifting if any appeal is pending. The court rejected arguments that the IBC overrides the Companies Act, noting no inconsistency between the laws. The amendment was specifically meant to prevent jurisdictional changes during judicial scrutiny of resolution plans. ## Coverage - millenniumpost.in Tags: Calcutta High Court, Corporate Affairs, HNGIL, insolvency, NCLAT, West Bengal Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/calcutta-hc-junks-centre-nod-for-hng-office-shift-from-bengal-to-maharashtra/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
