Forech India Ltd. vs Edelweiss Assets Reconstruction Co. ...

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal regarding the continuation of a winding up petition under Section 433(e) of the Companies Act, 2013, filed by an operational creditor against a corporate debtor. The Court held that the winding up proceedings should not continue in light of the insolvency proceedings initiated under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, as per Section 238 of the Code, which prioritizes insolvency proceedings over winding up petitions. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the Appellate Tribunal's decision that the financial creditor's petition was maintainable despite the pending winding up petition.
