Gordon Das Chuni Lal Dakuwala vs T. Sriman Kanthimathinatha Pillai And ... on 11 August, 1920
In Gordhan Das Chuni Lal v. T. Sriman Kanthimathinatha
Pillai(1) it was observed that where the property is
authorised to be sold by private contract or otherwise it is
the duty of the Court to satisfy itself that the price fixed
'is the best that could be expected to be offered. That is
because the Court is the custodian of the interests of the
Company and its creditors and the sanction of the Court
required under the Companies Act has to be exercised with
judicial discretion regard being had to the interests of the
Company and its creditors as well.
