https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=98236 A winding-up petition was held maintainable against a company already struck off and dissolved, because the later statutory change in the Companies Act, 1956 preserved the court's power to order winding up notwithstanding dissolution. The appeal was treated as a continuation of the original proceedings, so the amended law could be applied. Section 647 was read as dealing with the stage after a winding-up order, not as requiring the court to apply the earlier law as a bar at the maintainability stage. Section 6 of the General Clauses Act did not assist, as no vested right was taken away and the objection was only procedural. The prior setting aside of dissolution was not treated as a necessary precondition. en-us Thu, 19 Aug 1965 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 19 Jan 2012 17:24:40 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=98236 A winding-up petition was held maintainable against a company already struck off and dissolved, because the later statutory change in the Companies Act, 1956 preserved the court's power to order winding up notwithstanding dissolution.
