It seems company has contravened provisions of Sec.372A and hence liable to pay penalty as provided in sub-section (9). Complaint in this regard may be filed by any shareholder or ROC or Government as specified in Sec.621 with the court of a Magistrate of First Class or as the case may be, a Presidency Magistrate having jurisdiction to try such offence [Sec.2(11)(b)].

You are seeking advice for the Auditor or Shareholder or the Banker of the Company ?
The remedy for each of them is different.
Thanks
