A supporting creditor in the winding-up petition was treated as a stranger to the later sale-sanction proceeding because he did not appear at the hearing or seek participation under the relevant rules. Such a non-party cannot appeal as of right merely because he is aggrieved, and any request for leave depends on a satisfactory explanation for non-participation and proper grounds for interference. Leave may be refused where the appellant knew of the process but raised new grounds for the first time in appeal. en-us Tue, 18 Jun 1968 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 17:43:41 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=98489 In company winding-up proceedings, the right of appeal under the Companies Act exists only for a person who was a party to the specific proceeding in which the impugned order was made.
