The legal counsel appointed by the Company are in the process of evaluating appropriate legal actions to be taken in respect undelivered notices and unsent notices.

CG Power also said that due to the reduction in the shareholding of the promoters in the company to a negligible percentage, subsequent detection of unauthorised transactions undertaken from the group, leading to fraudulent transfers to the promoter company, Avantha Holdings Ltd and its related entities and consequent removal of Thapar as the company`s Chairman, the group has sought for exemption from the conditions under SEBI rules for reclassification of promoters, Avantha Holdings Ltd and others from promoter shareholder to public shareholders.

The application is pending consideration of Sebi, the company said.
