If the assets are not sufficient to meet the liabilities, a company is usually wound up by the Court. In other cases the winding-up is usually voluntary and conducted by the company itself either with or without the supervision of the Court.

There is nothing unequivocal in s. 15(a) of the Act to show that Parliament intended to depart from the technical meaning of 'voluntary winding up' and 'winding up by the Court' and to bid a good-bye to the distinction in our Company and Insurance jurisprudence between mere cessation of business by a company and its voluntary winding up or winding up by an order of the Court. The phrase 'voluntarily wound up' in the first limb would mean the voluntary winding up of an insurance public company in accordance with s. 54 of the Insurance Act, The Neptune Assurance Co. Ltd.v.

Broken rice
Broken rice, it includes 'broken rice as part of rice'. But, to hold that this meant that 'broken rice' must include whole rice is to accept that part includes the whole. If the whole includes a part, it necessarily means that the part cannot possibly be equated with the whole. The natural, and, indeed, the only reasonably open logic would be: if the whole includes a part, nothing which is merely a part of the whole could be equated with the whole, State of Andhra Pradesh v.
