Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the sale of assets of a liquidated company under the Companies Act, 1956, specifically referencing Section 529 and Section 530. The Court established that the Port Trust's failure to respond to the lessee's request for lease renewal, coupled with the lessee's breach of lease conditions, justified the termination of the lease. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order allowing the sale of assets to the respondent.
