Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the winding up of Chloro Controls (India) Pvt. Ltd. under Section 433(f) of the Companies Act, 1956, affirming that Severn Trent Water Purification Inc. had the standing to file the petition due to its merger with Capital Controls (Delaware) Company, Inc. The Court established that the rights and benefits of the predecessor company were inherited by Severn Trent, allowing it to maintain the petition. The appeals by Chloro Controls were dismissed, confirming the High Court's order.
