Issue 1: Winding up petition and scheme under section 391 of the Companies Act, 1956:
The judgment discusses a winding-up petition filed for a company and the subsequent sanctioning of a scheme under section 391 of the Companies Act, 1956 to revive the company. The order provided for no alienation of immovable properties, with the official liquidator overseeing the scheme's progress. The appellant claimed the company was never revived as per the scheme.

Issue 2: Allegations against the official liquidator for failure to revive the company:
The appellant alleged that the official liquidator failed to report on the non-revival of the company, leading to doubts about the scheme's implementation. The appellant filed a petition for action to protect properties, as the official liquidator reported no company at the given address, indicating a failure of the revival scheme.

Issue 3: Dispute regarding entitlement to interest on a specific amount:
A dispute arose regarding the appellant's entitlement to interest on a specific amount, with a decision rendered against the appellant on the interest calculation, which was challenged in the appeal.

Issue 4: Allegations of improper implementation of the scheme and sale of properties without permission:
Allegations were made against the official liquidator for failing to act in accordance with the law regarding the scheme, including the sale of properties without permission. The court noted modifications to orders allowing the sale of specific properties, raising concerns about the scheme's proper implementation.

Issue 5: Appellant's objection to the scheme and the subsequent settlement:
The appellant and his mother objected to the scheme, but a settlement was reached where they agreed to sell their shares, leading to the scheme's continuation. The court found no merit in the appeal, stating that the appellant's rights and interests were extinguished by the settlement, and the appellant had no role in the scheme's implementation.

In conclusion, the court dismissed the appeal, stating that the appellant's only remaining entitlement was to claim interest on an unpaid amount, and the appellant's attempts to raise issues were seen as potentially obstructive. The judgment highlighted the importance of the settlement in extinguishing the appellant's rights and the court's role in overseeing the scheme's implementation.
