     Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, File No. 333-120103

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Majesco Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the public offering of up to 4,222,176 shares of
common stock of the Company (which includes 540,000 shares subject to an
over-allotment option) (the "Shares") to be issued by the Company pursuant to
the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, File No. 333-120103 (the
"Registration Statement")

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item
601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act").

In connection with this opinion, we are familiar with the proceedings taken by
the Company in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the
Shares, and for purposes of this opinion, have assumed such proceedings will be
timely completed in the manner presently proposed. In addition, we have made
such legal and factual examinations and inquiries, including an examination of
originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of
such documents, corporate records and instruments, as we have deemed necessary
or appropriate for purposes of this opinion.

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal
capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us
as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to
us as certified, photostatic or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the
originals of such copies.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that when (i) specifically
authorized for issuance by the Company's Board of Directors or an authorized
committee thereof (the "Authorizing Resolutions"), (ii) the Registration
Statement has become effective under the Act,

(iii) the terms of the sale of the Shares have been duly established in
conformity with the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws and (iv)
the Shares have been issued, delivered and sold as contemplated by the
Registration Statement, the Shares will have been duly authorized and will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Our opinion is limited to the General Corporation Laws of the State of Delaware
and the United States Federal Laws, and we express no opinion with respect to
the laws of any other jurisdiction. To the extent that any applicable document
is stated to be governed by the laws of another jurisdiction, we have assumed
for purposes of this opinion that the laws of such jurisdiction are identical to
the state laws of the State of Delaware.
