RAM KRIPAL SINGH vs STATE OF U.P..

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, against a guarantor after the principal debtor's company was wound up. The Court distinguished this case from Pawan Kumar Jain v. Pradeshiya Industrial and Investment Corporation of U.P. [2004 (6) SCC 758], noting that the winding up of the company and the appointment of an official liquidator justified the recovery actions against the guarantor. The Court affirmed the High Court's finding that the recovery citation was valid despite the appellant's claims of jurisdictional issues.
