Aggarwal Granite Exports Limited, Bangalore Vs. South India Granite Co ...

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Aug-06-1999

Reported in: 1999(6)KarLJ433

ORDER1. The original Company Petition No. 63 of 1997 was filed on 16-6-1997 and the petitioner had prayed for an order of winding up on the usual ground that the respondents have failed and neglected to discharge theirdebts and are incapable of doing so. The record indicates that this proceeding was dragged on for one and half years and the order sheet is quite eloquent. These winding up proceedings are virtually expeditious remedies and the law presupposes the fact that a party who is genuinely aggrieved will act in consonance with the spirit of the law. Where a winding up proceeding is dragged on by the petitioners themselves for one and half years at the admission stage itself, it is indicative of how serious the party is or rather how not very serious the party is. This is a field of litigation in which the Courts are over burdened and when the very party who approaches the Court displays an attitude of this type, it would be well within the framework of law to dismiss the petition...
