That in spite of repeated requests neither the shares were issued by the respondent Company nor the petitioner was made a Director. Criminal proceedings were also initiated against the respondent Company. Under these circumstances, the petitioner filed for winding up of the respondent Company In this background, the Court was of the view, that in terms of the written statement, there is a willingness to issue the shares but no shares had actually been allotted in terms of para 23 of the judgment.
