The said notice specified that the Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on 5 th September, 2024, But, due to want of quorum, said AGM was adjourned to 12 th September 2024. In the said meeting held on the 12 th September, 2024, the financial statements of the company could not be adopted due to some unavoidable circumstances. Since the financial statements of the company could not be adopted in the above meeting, the directors did not file the financial statements relating to financial year 2023-2024 with the Registrar on the plea that the financial statements of the Company were not adopted in a general meeting and therefore there is no necessity to file any financial statement with the Registrar till the same are not adopted.

Since, the Company Secretary was on a business tour and was absent from India from 10 th December, 2024 to 2 nd January, 2025, the adopted financial statements were filed with the Registrar only on 3 rd January, 2025.
