WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.

(iii) any person whose estate is represented by the applicant as

18. THE REGISTRATION ACT,1908
An Act to consolidate the enactments relating to the Registration of
Documents.
WHEREAS it is expedient to consolidate the enactments relating to
the registration of documents; it is hereby enacted as follows:-
Statement of Objects and Reasons:- -This is a pure consolidating Bill.
The provisions relating to the registration of documents are now
scattered about in seven enactments. The object of the present Bill
is to collect these provisions and to incorporate them in one Act.
This will make the law more easily ascertainable. It will further clear
the Statute-book of three entire Acts and will enable two more Acts
to be entirely removed from it on the coming into force of the Code
of Civil Procedure, 1908, and of the Indian Limitation Bill, now
before Council.
19. THE REGISTRATION ACT,1908
The fact that the General Clauses Act, 1897, will apply to the Bill
when passed has rendered it unnecessary to retain some provisions
of the present Acts. The opportunity has been taken to incorporate
alterations of a formal character intended merely to improve and
simplify the language of the existing Act. The numbering of the
sections of the Act of 1877 has been preserved. It has been found
that the mere process of consolidation might result in the law being
changed in some respects. To avoid this some few amendments
appear to be necessary. Amendment Act 17 of 1956-Statement of
Objects and Reasons.-While India is a secular State recording of
castes and sub-castes of parties mentioned in a deed for
registration in States is anomalous.
20. THE REGISTRATION ACT,1908
This Bill is intended to remove that anomaly. Amendment Act 45 of
1969-Statement of Objects and Reasons.-Under section 30(2) of the
Indian Registration Act, 1908, the Registrar of a district in which any
of the three Presidency towns of Calcutta, Bombay or Madras is
situated may receive and register any document relating to
immovable property wherever in India that property may be
situated.
In view of the growing importance of Delhi as the capital of the
Union of India, as a business and commercial centre and as a
cosmopolitan town, where people from every part of India come
and reside, it has been felt for quite some time that the benefit of
section 30(2) may also be extended to Delhi.
21. THE REGISTRATION ACT, 1908
Representations in this behalf have also been received from the
Delhi Administration. The matter has been examined by the Law
Commission in its Thirty-first Report. The Commission has
recommended that the provisions of section 30(2) of the Indian
Registration Act should appropriately be extended to the
metropolitan city also. The Bill seeks to implement this
recommendation.
2. In consonance with the present legislative practice which has been
adopted since the. Independence of the country, this opportunity
to amend the Indian Registration Act, 1908, is being availed of to
suggest the omission of the word "Indian" from the short title of
the Act.

26. BENCH BAR RELATIONS
• Bar refers to the lawyers and Bench refers to the members of the judiciary,
i.e., Judges. It is the body of persons which operates the machinery
through which justice is administered, composed mainly of the Judges and
the Advocates who help them in discharging their difficult duties, has
existed and functioned both in ancient and modern times.
• Bar & Bench relations in law refers to the cordial relationship between
Advocates (Bar) and Judges (Bench). Bar and Bench plays an important
role in the administration of justice. Bench administer the justice with the
help of the Bar.
• The Judicial Process in today’s world includes that task of Social
Engineering. Concepts of justice, however, have changed vastly in the
course of time. And, as between different States in modern times too,
Justice, as embodied in the law, has different contents and connotations.
27. BENCH BAR RELATIONS
• Such differences as we find between different States as regards the
functions of the Bar and Bench are, mainly due to the somewhat differing
basic concepts of justice found in the laws of different States. These
concepts have been produced and molded by the operations of complex
and interconnected, constantly acting and counter-acting, sets of factors
in the course of our histories.
• As the officers of the Court, lawyers are expected to assist the Bench in
administering justice. They are expected to maintain respectful attitude,
towards the Bench keeping in mind that, the dignity of judicial office is an
essential for the survival of the society. Thus, mutual respect is necessary
among the lawyers and judges to maintain the harmony between the Bar
and Bench.

37. LEGAL ETHICS
LEGAL ETHICS Introduction: The word ethics is derived from the
Greek word ‘ethos’ (character) and from the Latin word ‘mores’
(customs). Together they combine to define how individuals choose
to interact with one another. In philosophy, ethics defines what is
good for the individual and for society and establishes the nature of
duties that people owe to themselves and to one another. Ethics
and legal profession often work hand in hand. Legal profession is a
noble profession. The nobility of the legal profession is maintained
by the adherence and observance of a set of professional norms by
those who adopt this profession. It is known as legal ethics or the
ethics of the legal profession
38. FUNDAMENTALS OF LEGAL ETHICS
The fundamentals of the legal ethics, may be defined as code of
conduct written or unwritten for regulating the behavior of a
practicing lawyer towards himself, his client his adversary in law and
towards the court. Object of the Professional Ethics: The main
object of the professional ethics of advocacy is to maintain the
dignity of the legal profession. Chief Justice Marshall has observed
in this respect, “The fundamental aim of legal ethics is to maintain
the honor and dignity of the law profession to secure a spirit of
friendly co-operation between the bench and bar in the promotion
of higher standard of justice, to establish honorable and fair
dealings of the counsel with his client, opponent and witness, to
establish a spirit of brotherhood with bar itself and to secure that
lawyers discharge their responsibilities to the community
generally”.
39. LEGAL PROFESSION
Legal profession is not a business but a profession. It has been
created by the state for the public good. Consequently, the
essence of the profession lies in the three things:
1.Organization of its members for the performance of their
function;
2. Maintenance of certain standards, intellectual and ethical for
the dignity of the profession;
3. Subordination of pecuniary gains to efficient services
40. Professional conduct &
Professional ethics
Most people think that professional conduct and
professional ethics are one and the same. However, there is
a slight difference between the two. In professional
conduct the member of the profession acts under some
statutory or contractual powers i.e. legal obligation,
whereas in professional ethics a member of profession is
expected to follow i.e. moral obligation. Professional ethics
is noble and those who remain within it are considered
divine.
41. Advantages of Having Codified
Professional Ethics
Firstly, codes of ethics are important means of social control. It will
keep new corner to the profession aware and old members in line
according to the social requirement and expectations. Secondly,
Professional ethical codes prevent control or interference by the
government or by society though some one of its agencies. If a
degree of standardization is needed and that is done by the
profession itself, it will keep outside interference away.
Governmental regulations through law tend to be negative while
ethics points to the goal desired. Thirdly, ethical codes are
important, in developing higher standards of conduct. The codes
crystallize best Judgment about the profession. Fourthly, the
existence of code will have great educative, corrective and
appreciable value for both the lawyers and the laymen.
42. Duty to Court
• Advocates, in addition to being professionals, are also officers of the
courts and play a vital role in the administration of justice.
• Accordingly, the set of rules that govern their professional conduct arise
out of the duty that they owe the court, the client, their opponents and
other advocates.
• Rules on the professional standards that an advocate needs to maintain
are mentioned in Chapter II, Part VI of the Bar Council of India Rules.
These rules have been placed there under section 49(1)(c) of the
Advocates Act, 1961.
