Moot Proposition Summary
The 2026 case involves Helios Capital (Mauritius) Ltd. v. Ind-Solar Tech Private Ltd.. The dispute centers on a "Put Option" exit mechanism where the foreign investor alleges "Gold Plating" (intentional inflation of expenses) and financial mismanagement by Indian promoters to artificially depress share valuation. Key legal issues include the maintainability of oppression and mismanagement petitions under the Companies Act versus contractual breaches, and potential conflicts with FEMA pricing guidelines.
