Bona fide disputed debt cannot be adjudicated in winding up proceedings

January 20, 2013 876 Views 0 comment Print

The appellant may have a very good case on merits and would possibly be able to establish in an appropriate proceeding that the respondent have acted in a fraudulent manner and defrauded him to Rs. 2 crore. However, in proceedings for winding up the company, the Court cannot adjudicate upon a bona fide disputed debt.

In the circumstances, no fault is found with the order of the Single Judge. Accordingly, the appeal is to be dismissed.

January 10, 2013 576 Views 0 comment Print

An appeal under Section 10F of the Companies Act can be filed only on a question of law; a mis-interpretation or mis-reading of document is question of law.
