Winding up is not maintainable where the claimed debt is bona fide disputed and the liability depends on unresolved questions of fact. The Court applied this principle to a petition based on unpaid price for supplied goods, noting a serious dispute over the agreed rates, the company's account statement indicating excess payment, and the seller's failure to pursue reconciliation despite a request.

The winding up petition was rejected, and both sides were left free to pursue their claims before the appropriate forum.
