A defect in service of those papers is therefore curable and does not by itself defeat maintainability. Where the respondent receives notice, enters appearance, and raises no substantial defence to the debt-based claim, the petition may still be admitted if the materials show a prima facie case. On that basis, the Court found the procedural objection insufficient and admitted the winding-up petition. en-us Thu, 30 Nov 2000 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 14:43:55 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=105760 Service of a winding-up petition is governed by the Companies (Court) Rules, 1959, which require service of the petition and prescribe a verification affidavit, but do not make service of the affidavit or accompanying papers a mandatory condition for dismissal.
