Merger control notice and disclosure rules: Supreme Court limits penalties, rejects reopening of approved combination, and sets aside adverse findings...
The HC held that the Company Court's statutory jurisdiction under the Companies Act is confined to supervising winding up, realising company assets, adjudicating creditor claims and distributing proceeds; it is not a forum to shelter personal guarantors from independent recovery proceedings once liquidation has attained finality. After the winding up order, appointment of a provisional liquidator and Official Liquidator, sale of company properties and distribution to secured creditors and workmen pursuant to court directions with a fixed cut-off for claims, guarantor liability remains independent of the company's liquidation. Guarantors must pursue remedies in appropriate fora; the Company Court cannot restrain creditor recovery post-liquidation. Appeal dismissed.
