https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=106851 Section 446(1) of the Companies Act, 1956 is confined to proceedings of a civil nature connected with winding up and does not include criminal prosecution. The provision must be read in context with the Act's separate reference to prosecutions and with the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, under which transfer of a criminal case from one State to another lies with the Supreme Court under section 406. The Company Court therefore has no jurisdiction to transfer or stay a criminal complaint on that basis. en-us Tue, 30 Oct 2001 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 10:44:18 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=106851 Section 446(1) of the Companies Act, 1956 is confined to proceedings of a civil nature connected with winding up and does not include criminal prosecution.
