https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=96855 A private complaint for offences relating to a company was not barred merely because the company was in compulsory winding up. Sections 137, 138, 141A and 237 of the Companies Act were treated as enabling provisions for investigation and prosecution in special situations, not as excluding the ordinary criminal court's jurisdiction to receive a complaint against directors or officers. The special procedure under Section 237 was not exclusive, and winding up did not prevent a private person from setting the criminal law in motion. The complaint was therefore maintainable in law, although the revision was dismissed. en-us Fri, 24 May 1940 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:59:26 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=96855 A private complaint for offences relating to a company was not barred merely because the company was in compulsory winding up.
