This said section 22A was specially introduced in order to promote the free transferability of the shares in a<em> public limited company<\/em>, particularly in a listed company and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skewinfotech.com\/seo-companies-in-coimbatore.php\">companies<\/a> were allowed to refuse <em>registration<\/em> of shares only on certain specified grounds and to seek the direction of the erstwhile company law board.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Provision for re-introduced<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The above procedure under erstwhile section 22A of SCRA, 1956 will no longer hold gold.
