advantage of our Client's performance of all his obligations under the
Agreement, and got your name recorded in the register of share transfer, and
register of members, of RIPL in respect of our Client's Shares.
Since the execution of the Agreement, and having taken advantage of
our Client having signed the Form SH-4, you have failed to pay to our Client
the Purchase Consideration for our Client's Shares by any mode. This is despite
the fact that the payment of the consideration is a condition of any such
agreement, and that too, a concurrent condition. You have even failed to pay
the Purchase Consideration to our Client within a reasonable period of time
after the Agreement was entered into. The Purchase Consideration remains
unpaid even as on date.
You have made multiple representations and statements in public
asserting ownership and title over our Client's Shares despite not having made
payment of the Purchase Consideration to our Client. In your statements, you
have not even acknowledged or recognized any obligation towards our Client
under the Agreement, or otherwise. Similar statements have thereafter been
made by you in your book, titled 'Doglapan' that was made available to the
public in the month of December 2022.
In view of the complete and substantial failure on your part to pay the
Purchase Consideration under law, property/title in our Client's Shares has not
passed on to you, notwithstanding the execution of the Form SH-4, dated 02
July 2018. Further, the false statements being made by you in public about your
title and ownership of our Client's Shares, as stated above, evidence a complete
refusal by you to pay the Purchase Consideration. You have also disabled
yourself from performing the Agreement.
Accordingly, our Client, with immediate effect, hereby rescinds and
terminates the Agreement because of your fundamental breach, non-
performance and repudiation of the Agreement, which goes to the root of the
Agreement.
As a result of the above, the Form SH-4, dated 02 July 2018, is void,
given that property/title over our Client‘s Shares never stood transferred to you.
Thus, the Form SH-4, dated 02 July 2018, is liable to be declared as such.
Accordingly, our Client continues to be the legal and beneficial owner of our
Client's Shares together with all rights that have accrued in respect of our
Client's Shares. You are liable to restore to our Client the advantage that you
have gained under the Agreement. This includes recording of ownership over
our Client's Shares, together with all rights attached to them, by RIPL in its
records as well as in the records of the appropriate authorities. Our Client is
also entitled to all other rights that may get attached with our Client‘s Shares
from time to time.
Consequentially, our Client also seeks and demands that you cease and
desist from(a) alienating, transferring, selling, creating any encumbrance,
third-party rights or any other interest of any kind whatsoever in our Client's
Shares, or otherwise dealing with our Client's Shares in any manner
whatsoever, (b) exercising any right of any kind whatsoever in respect of our
Client's Shares, and (c) wrongly professing, or claiming to be, the owner of our
Client's Shares amongst the public at large in any manner whatsoever. Our
Client further reserves his right to alternatively claim compensatory damages
arising out of your fundamental breach, non-performance and repudiation of
