the four Directors of the Company. Without informing the Board
of Directors, the petitioner constituted a partnership firm with
one Reena Kumari and used the name of the firm as Hopecon
Infra Projects Private Limited which is similar to the name of
the Company. He also took a GST registration and opened a
Bank account in the Punjab National Bank. The partnership
deed of the firm was drafted by Rajeev Kumar, who is the
statutory auditor of the Company. Subsequently on 27.2.2025,
the petitioner changed the name of the firm to Hopecon Infra

business of the Company and caused wrongful loss to the
Company.
