Shri G. Govindaraj And Smt. G. ... vs Venture Graphics Private Limited, Shri ... on 30 September, 2004
In order to be successful on the latter ground, the Supreme Court in Hanuman Prasad Bagri v. Bagress Cereals Pvt. Ltd. (supra), after considering the provisions of Section 397 held that "the petitioners have to make out a case for winding up of the company on just and equitable grounds. If the facts fall short of the case set out for winding up on just and equitable grounds, no relief can be granted to the petitioners." A careful consideration of the findings of the Supreme Court, suggests that in order to be successful on the ground specified in Section 397(2)(b), the petitioners have to make out a case (emphasis supplied) for winding up of the company on just and equitable grounds. The decision nowhere mandates the requirement that the petitioners have to plead that the facts would justify the making of a winding up order of the company on just and equitable grounds.
