Issues: Whether the winding up order deserved to be set aside in view of the settlement between the petitioning creditor and the company, payment of the dues, and the absence of any other proven liabilities.
Analysis: The Company Court had ordered winding up primarily because the company remained ex parte and the petitioner's debt was treated as established. In appeal, the settlement with the petitioning creditor was placed on record and was not disputed. The secured creditor's dues had also been satisfied under the OTS, and the Official Liquidator had not received any other claims. Winding up is a drastic and last resort remedy, and before bringing a company to an end the Court must be satisfied that there is no viable basis for revival or continuation of business. The material on record did not show that the company was in such financial distress that winding up alone was warranted.
Conclusion: The winding up order was rightly interfered with and was liable to be set aside.
Final Conclusion: The settlement and satisfaction of the principal liabilities removed the foundation for liquidation, and the company was permitted to stand revived.
Ratio Decidendi: A winding up order based mainly on non-appearance and a disputed debt should be set aside when the debt is later settled, secured creditor liabilities are cleared, and no other substantial claims remain, because winding up is a remedy of last resort.
