As per specific relief act claim of the transferee is time barred now as shares are not yet registered in his name.
So the transferor is still the members as per the register of member of the issuer company and accordingly will be entitled to the bonus shares issued by the issuer company.
But the issue is that the company had no original shares in its books as they had already been sold, how can we disclose the bonus shares? Can the company claim the original shares as the shares are still in the name of company in register of members?
