This matter involves a question of considerable public importance relating to the principle and procedure for the sale of the assets of a company in liquidation : Whether the only object of such sale is to fetch the maximum price or whether the court, at its discretion, having regard to the prevailing socio-economic questions, which are involved in a welfare State like India, should apply the law in a pragmatic manner having regard to the realities and interest of the public.2.

Tea Land, of which one of the ex-directors of the company is a partner, for winding-up on a claim of Rs. 68,000, being Company Petition No. 389 of 1976. After the said wi...
