Stolen Shares? How to Recover Your Ownership in Pakistan | Section 126 Explained

Imagine discovering your shares in the company you built were transferred without your knowledge or consent. Many believe that once a transfer is filed with the SECP, it is a "done deal," but the law provides a powerful shield for shareholders. In this video, Ali Ahmed Advocate explains the legal roadmap to reclaiming your ownership and holding fraudsters accountable.  What You Will Learn in This Video: • The Illegal Transfer: Why any transfer without a proper deed, signature, and board resolution is void under Section 74 of the Companies Act 2017.  • The Remedy (Section 126): How to file a petition for the "Rectification of the Register" to restore your name as the rightful owner.  • Fast-Track Justice: Learn why these cases don't take years—the Company Bench is mandated by law to decide the matter within 120 days.  • The Role of SECP: How to use the SECP online complaint system as your first step toward recovery.  Key Legal Sections Mentioned: • Section 74: Procedure for share transfers.  • Section 126: Rectification of the Register of Members.  • Section 5 & 6: Exclusive jurisdiction of the High Court and the 120-day resolution mandate.  • Section 127: Court’s power to punish those involved in illegal transfers.  First Steps for Victims: 1. File a complaint via the SECP online portal with your proof of ownership.  2. Obtain a letter from the SECP if the matter is not resolved.  3.
