Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that in the context of a company in liquidation, the interests of creditors must be prioritized. The Court found that the offer of Rs.4.25 crores made by the appellant was significantly higher than the Rs.3 crores offered by the first respondent and was above the revalued price of the company's assets. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order remanding the matter and directed the Company Court to accept the appellant's offer, emphasizing the need to expedite the sale process to benefit the creditors.
