Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the winding up order under Sections 433(e) & (f), 434, and 439 of the Companies Act, 1956. The Court held that the Company Court had erred in admitting the winding up petition as there was a substantial dispute regarding the liability under the deed of settlement dated 19.12.2003, and the appropriate remedy for the respondent was to approach the Civil Court instead. Consequently, the winding up order was set aside, emphasizing that a company cannot be wound up if it is commercially solvent and capable of discharging its debts.
