Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's decision that the members of the Nemani Group were not entitled to payments as their claims had not been adjudicated, referencing the Companies Act, 1956. The Court emphasized that the claims of unsecured creditors, including the petitioners, had previously been adjudicated, and thus the Division Bench's ruling to set aside the earlier order was justified. The appeals by the Bengal Chatkal Mazdoor Union and Baranagore Jute Factory were also addressed, highlighting the need for consideration of workers' claims in the liquidation process.
