RAJU JHURANI vs M/S. GERMINDA PVT. LTD.

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of Order 2 Rule 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) in relation to winding-up proceedings under Sections 433, 434, and 439 of the Companies Act, 1956. The Court held that the absence of a specific finding on the rate of rent and the period of default rendered the winding-up petition unmaintainable. Consequently, the appeal against the Calcutta High Court's dismissal of the winding-up petition was upheld, emphasizing that the appellant could pursue the claim for arrears in an appropriate forum.
