It noted that mere reference of more than 3000 members did not raise a presumption that the suit was not maintainable in absence of leave: 'every presumption should be made in favour of the existence of the suit rather than exclusion of jurisdiction'. The Court added that remedy to bring an end to oppression and mismanagement on the part of the controlling shareholders was provided under the Companies Act, 1956.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : Order I Rule 8 Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 nActCompID=287147 Bhagwan Das v.
