The Company Court's jurisdiction was treated as surviving after a winding-up order, because post-winding-up arrangements that displaced the Official Liquidator's control could still be examined and, if necessary, undone under the court's inherent powers and the Companies Act, 1956.

Ad interim stay was refused on balance of convenience, absence of a meaningful change in circumstances, and judicial propriety.
