Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed cross appeals concerning a dispute between shareholders of Kilpest Pvt. Ltd. under Sections 397 and 398 of the Companies Act, 1956. The Court held that the company could not be treated as a partnership and found no grounds for winding it up under the just and equitable clause. However, it directed the appointment of Mehra as a Director and mandated Dubey to repay Rs. 52,875/- to the company, emphasizing the need for fair management practices.
