The court held there was no privity of contract between petitioner and respondent company, as the respondent's Managing Director had specifically objected to the Deed of Assignment in May 2005, before it was executed in December 2005. The court found no valid acknowledgment of debt by the respondent, noting disputed authority of communications and that the petition was filed after limitation period. The court emphasized that winding up remedy is discretionary, not automatic, and cannot be used merely for debt recovery when the company remains a going concern. en-us Wed, 26 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 10 Dec 2024 19:00:57 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=459357 The Gujarat HC dismissed a winding up petition filed under Sections 433 and 434 of the Companies Act, 1956.
