Pratibha vs Official Liquidator,M/S.Vidarbha ...

The Supreme Court set aside the Bombay High Court's order dismissing an appeal under Section 483 of the Companies Act, 1956, emphasizing that the dismissal was erroneous as it did not consider the appellant's resignation as a Director in 1986 and the timeline of events leading to the ex-parte order in 1999. The Court held that the High Court must reconsider the matter on its merits, given the procedural lapses and the appellant's lack of representation due to her Advocate's death. The case was remanded for fresh consideration by the High Court.
