of <h1>Winding-up petition dismissed due to disputed facts: Importance of clear evidence & legal procedures</h1> <h3>Rohtak & Hissar Districts Electric Supply Co. (P.) Ltd. Versus Amausi Textile Mills Ltd.</h3> The winding-up petition filed by an electric supply company against a textile company for non-payment of debt was dismissed by the court due to disputed ... Winding up – General Issues involved:Winding-up petition based on debt owed by respondent company, jurisdiction of the court, disputed facts regarding loan repayment, maintainability of the petition.Analysis:The petitioner, an electric supply company, filed a winding-up petition against the respondent textile company for non-payment of a debt amounting to Rs. 4,84,177.73. The respondent initially objected to the petition's maintainability, citing jurisdictional issues which were overruled by the court. The respondent later argued that the loan in question was advanced by specific individuals, not the petitioner company, based on an undertaking to a development corporation. The dispute centered on whether the loan was provided by the individuals or the petitioner company, with the burden of proof on the petitioner. Despite multiple adjournments, the petitioner failed to provide crucial evidence, leading the court to decline exercising jurisdiction due to the disputed factual nature of the case.The court emphasized that in a winding-up petition, it cannot delve into disputed factual matters that require evidence. As a result, the petition was dismissed, with each party bearing their own costs. The court clarified that the dismissal did not prevent the petitioner from seeking remedies through appropriate channels, ensuring that the court's observations did not act as a final decision or a bar to future legal actions, which would be determined as per the law.In conclusion, the judgment highlighted the importance of substantiating claims in winding-up petitions and the court's limited scope in deciding matters based on disputed facts without proper evidence. The case underscored the need for clear proof and adherence to legal procedures in such matters to ensure fair and just outcomes.
