Shares in public undertakings
Shares in public undertakings. Where the property is vested by charter or Act of Parliament in a body corporate, the shares of the individual corporators in the concern itself are personal, not real, estate; for such shares are merely the rights which each individual possesses as a partner to a share in the surplus profit derived from the employment of the capital, which is a mixed fund, consisting in part of personal chattels, as well as lands and fixtures. Shares in all companies which are within the Companies Acts (see the Companies Act, 1929, s. 62), OR THE Companies Clauses Act, 1845, are personal property; and in many cases of companies incorporated by special Act the shares have been expressly declared to be personal property. Before 1926 the question whether shares in other under-takings were real or personal property turned upon the nature of the shares-that is, whether the holder could call for a specific part of the land itself or only a share of the profits.

Shareholder
Shareholder, word 'shareholder' can mean only a registered shareholder. It is difficult to see how a beneficial owner of shares whose name does not appear in the register of shareholders of the company can be said to be a 'shareholder'. He may be beneficially entitled to the shares but he is certainly not a 'shareholder'. It is only the person whose name is entered in the register of share-holders of the company as the holder of the shares who can be said to be a shareholder qua the company, and not the person beneficially entitled to the shares. It is the former who is a 'shareholder' within the matrix and scheme of the company law and not the latter, Rameshwar Lal Sanwarmal v. Commissioner of Income Tax, AIR 1980 SC 372: (1980) 2 SCC 371 (376): (1980) 2 SCR 369.

Amalgamation
Amalgamation, in amalgamation two or more companies are fused into one by merger or by taking over by another. Reconstruction or 'amalgamation' has no precise legal meaning. The amalgamation is a blending of two or more existing undertakings into one undertaking, the share-holders of each blending company become substantially the shareholders in the company which is to carry on the blended undertakings. There may be amalgamation either by the transfer of two or more undertakings to a new company, or by the transfer of one or more undertakings to an existing company. Strictly 'amalgamation' does not cover the mere acquisition by a company of the share capital of other company which remains in existence and continues its undertaking but the context in which the term is used may show that it is intended to include such an acquisition, Saraswati Industrial Syndicate Ltd. v. C.I.T., 1990 Supp SCC 675 (679).Amalgamation, in an amalgamation two or more companies are fused into one by merger o...
