Dear Shah:

What do you mean by Capital, is it Share Capital or including Reserves and Surplus, if it is the later one, please go through this link:https://mca.gov.in/MinistryWebsite/dca/actsbills/rules/CDoDooRR1975.pdf

You have to approach civil court having jurisdiction over the registered office of the company.  Company court u/s 10 can be approached only in respect of those cases which are specifically mentioned in the Companies Act.
