Ram Kripal Singh vs State Of U.P. & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a writ petition challenging recovery proceedings under the Uttar Pradesh Public Money's Recovery of Dues Act, 1972, affirming that a guarantor can be pursued for recovery even when the principal debtor's company has been wound up, as established in Pawan Kumar Jain v. Pradeshiya Industrial and Investment Corporation of U.P. The Court clarified that the circumstances in the present case were distinguishable from prior rulings due to the winding up of the principal debtor and the appointment of an official liquidator. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that recovery actions were valid and justified under the law.
