In the context of Regulation 17(1)(c) non-compliance, the company had previously claimed that it would take all the necessary steps to make an appointment of Directors for a successful formation of the Board. However, it failed at making the appointment, as shareholders refused to grant approval; hence, the company claimed this non-compliance was not under its control. Similarly, in relation to Regulation 6 non-compliance, the company claimed that it had faced several challenges in selecting a suitable qualified candidate to be placed in the roles of Company Secretary and Compliance Officer. For this purpose, the company had also published advertisements in three distinct newspapers seeking applications for the said role to ensure timely compliance. However, it could not find the perfect eligible holder within the prescribed time limit.
