The HC dismissed the recall application challenging the disclaimer order passed in winding up proceedings under the Companies Act, 2013. The court held that the Company Court's powers are limited and do not extend to granting specific performance without a trial, especially where limitation has expired and no suit was filed. Section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act was inapplicable due to lack of a subsisting enforceable contract and prior possession under a lease/license. The applicant, lacking locus standi as a contributory with no further interest, was barred by Order IX Rule 9 CPC from re-agitating dismissed claims. No material fact was suppressed to justify recall, and no jurisdictional error or ground for review was shown. The order disclaiming the onerous property burden was valid, and the property never vested in the company. Consequently, the recall application was rejected and the appeal dismissed.
