Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals against a High Court order that set aside a Company Judge's rejection of a plea regarding a concession made by junior counsel. The Court emphasized that the respondent had acknowledged debts under Section 434 of the Companies Act, 1956, and that the statements made by counsel were intended to avoid winding-up proceedings. The Court upheld the Company Judge's decision, affirming that the respondent's obligations to pay the admitted debts were valid and enforceable, thereby dismissing the appeals.
