Section 433 (e) and (f) of Companies Act, 1956 regarding non-payment of Rs.2,55,11,173/-. 3. The Division Bench, while passing the order on 29th July 2019, noted that AEPL had not accounted for certain RTGS payments made to it by CEPL and considering that AEPL had not reverted back to the Court with any instructions and had gone unrepresented, the Division Bench found that there was no contest to the discrepancy which had been raised in the statement of account, as submitted by AEPL. Accordingly, impugned order was set aside and the Company Petition was restored back to the file for fresh disposal by the Company Court. 4. In view of the above, the Ex-Directors have raised a plea that the winding up orders were not passed at their behest, but at the behest of the AEPL, who later on did not press the petition and the matter was then remanded back. 5. Therefore, in the opinion of this Court, the question of Ex-Director paying liquidation expenses will not arise, considering the winding up order was set aside by the Division Bench of this Court. 6. Accordingly, the application is disposed of. Liberty is given to OL to recover the money from petitioner/AEPL. CO.APPL. 512/2024
1. Ex-Directors seek to withdraw this application in order to assert a closure to the matter. 2. Accordingly, application is dismissed as withdrawn. CO.PET. 206/2010 This is a digitally signed order.
