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.
PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.
In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

S.K. PANIGRAHI, J.
1. The present Criminal Writ Petition has been filed by the
petitioner invoking Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution
of India challenging the order of detention dated
12.02.2020 passed by the District Magistrate, Balasore
under Section 3(2) of the National Security Act, 1980.
AFR
2. 2
2. Brief facts of the case are stated hereunder so as to
appreciate the rival legal contentions urged on behalf of the
parties:
(a) The petitioner was under judicial custody in
the District Headquarters Jail Balasore in
connection to P.S. Case No.319 dated 17.10.2019
held under Section 395 of IPC and Sections 25
and 27 of the Arms Act. The Superintendent of
Police, Balasore in his letter No.7586/1B dated
26.12.2019 addressing the District Magistrate
appealed for the detention of the petitioner under
Section 3(2) of the National Security Act. He
contended that the present petitioner has been
indulging in antisocial activities prejudicial to
public order in town, Sahadevkhunta, Sadar,
Industrial PS’s areas and throughout the district
of Balasore and also bordering area of West
Bengal since 2013. He further emphasized that
the petitioner does not have any ostensible means
of livelihood and only depends upon extortion,
robbery and other criminal activities. Further, he
contended that the people in the above-
mentioned regions are in a state of constant fear
due to the continuous atrocious activities of this
petitioner who is a dreaded criminal. The
Superintendent of Police has then attached a list
3. 3
of 20 cases, while detailing those he has
mentioned that out of 14 cognizable cases, 8
cases have been charge sheeted and the rest 6
are under investigation and will be charge-
sheeted soon.
(b) Acknowledging the Letter No.7586/1B,
District Magistrate, Balasore ordered for
detention of the petitioner on 12.02.2020 and
consequently provided the grounds of detention
to the petitioner on 16.02.2020. The District
Magistrate has stated that there is every
possibility that his release on bail will lead to the
probabilities of his indulgence in more and more
criminal activities. He has further stated that
upon thorough perusal of materials of criminal
cases registered against him, it is clear that the
petitioner is a die-hard anti-social and criminal
who has scanty regard for the law of the land.
Hence, his detention under Section 3(2) of the
NSA Act is necessary in the interest of the
maintenance of public peace as well as upholding
public order in the locality.
(c) The aforesaid order of detention was approved
by the State Government on 20.02.2020 and
subsequently based on the report of the Advisory
Board, the same was confirmed on 06.04.2020
for a period of three months. Thereafter the
4. 4
period of detention has been extended on
06.05.2020 and 30.07.2020 pursuant to which
the petitioner continues to be in detention.
3. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the
detaining authority while presenting the report against the
detenue has not disclosed the basic facts, material
particulars which led to passing an order of detention. It
has further not been disclosed that what is the basis and
circumstances which led the District Magistrate to come to
a conclusion that the detenue is terrorizing the innocent
general public. Further, he has contended that the order of
detention was passed on 12.02.2020 whereas the grounds
of detention was served on 16.02.2020 which indicates that
the order of detention was passed without considering the
materials on record. It is therefore sufficient to activise this
Court into examining the legality of detention.
4. He has further contended that the Superintendent of
Police and the District Magistrate have relied on stale cases
as the detenue has been acquitted in quite a few of them,
the same has not been brought on record. Moreover, the
cases relied upon by the detaining authority are cases
5. 5
affecting individuals and none of them in any manner
affects the tempo of life. It has also been contended that
there were no particulars for the detenue to make his
representation and the details for the same was also not
provided. Therefore, the information being incomplete and
misleading does not satisfy the requirements of law. This
Court has consistently shown great anxiety for personal
liberty and refused to throw out a petition merely on the
ground that it does not disclose a prima facie case
invalidating the order of detention. The detaining authority
ought to have produced contemporaneous evidence to show
that the authority had applied its mind to arrive at
subjective satisfaction regarding such detention.
5. Learned Counsel for the Opposite Party No.2 submits
that the order of detention of the petitioner was given only
after thorough consideration and judicious application of
mind. He has contended that there are chances of the
petitioner getting bail in Sahadevkhunta P.S. Case No.319
dated 17.10.2019 and there is a chance of resumption of
the said antisocial activities after his release. Further, upon
preparation of the grounds of detention, the same was
6. 6
issued to the detenue on 16.02.2020 which is very well
within the statutory period. It is further submitted that
according to Section 3(4) of the NSA Act, the grounds of
detention should be provided after 5 days and within 15
days and therefore there has been no violation of the Act.
Further he has submitted that the bare reading of the
application dated 26.12.2019 of the Superintendent of
Police, Balasore, it is evident that the activities of the
detenue has not only affected individuals but the whole
community disrupting peace and public order. Hence, the
present petition should be dismissed.
6. Learned Counsel for the Opposite Party No.2 submits
that on the basis of the materials available on record
against the petitioner showing his anti-social and criminal
activities in different cases for a considerable period which
are prejudicial to the interest of the public at large and as
the fact remains when the normal law of the land failed to
curb the anti-social activities of the petitioner, the
detaining authority was compelled to take recourse under
the provision contained in the NSA Act. The detention of
the petitioner has been made according to the procedure
7. 7
established by law. It is neither illegal nor unwarranted.
Hence, the present petition should be dismissed.
7. Heard Mr. Debasis Sarangi, learned counsel appearing
for the petitioner and Mr. Janmejaya Katikia, learned
Additional Government Advocate for Opposite Party Nos.1
and 2 and perused the case records.
8. Preventive detention is not to punish a person for
something he has done but to prevent him from doing it.
Therefore, since the detention order passed on the
allegation of involvement of the detenu in a number of
criminal cases without disclosing any material in the report
of the Superintendent of Police or materials available before
the Detaining Authority that there is likelihood of breach of
public order, the detention order cannot be sustained. The
detaining authority at the time of passing the order of
detention as well as the State Government while confirming
the same should take into consideration the nature of
allegations and offences alleged in the grounds of detention
to examine whether the same relates to 'public order' and
the normal law cannot take care of such offences and that
the acts of the detenu mentioned in the grounds of
8. 8
detention are prejudicial to maintenance of public order or
they only relate to "law and order". While interpreting the
provisions this Court has pointed out in a number of cases
that this Court rigidly insist that preventive detention
procedure should be fair and strictly observed. The
detaining authorities should exercise the privileges
sparingly and "in those cases only where there is full
satisfaction".
9. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Yumman
Ongbi Lembi Liema Vs. State of Manipur1, referring to
the earlier decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in
Haradhan Saha Vs. State of West Bengal2, held that the
extraordinary powers of detaining an individual in
contravention of the provisions of Article 22(2) of the
Constitution where the grounds of detention do not disclose
any material which was before the detaining authority
other than the fact that there is every likelihood of the
detenu being released on bail in connection with the cases
in respect of which he had been arrested to support the
1
2012 (I) OLR (SC) 550.
2
(1975) 3 SCC 198.
9. 9
order of detention. It is also held that preventive detention
is not to punish a person for something he has done but to
prevent him from doing it. Only on the apprehension of the
detaining authority that after being released on bail, the
petitioner-detenu will indulge in similar activities, which
will be prejudicial to public order, order under the Act
should not ordinarily be passed.
10. The Supreme Court in Alpesh Navinchandra Shah v.
State of Maharashtra3; State of Maharashtra v.
Bhaurao Punjabrao Gawande4; and Rekha v. State of
Tamil Nadu5, wherein the detention orders were set aside
on the ground that the purpose for issuance of a detention
order is to prevent the detenu from continuing his
prejudicial activities for a period of one year, but not to
punish him for something done in the remote past.
Further, there would have to be a nexus between the
detention order and the alleged offence in respect of which
he was to be detained and in absence of a live link between
the two, the detention order could not be defended.

11. The Detaining Authority did not apply its mind before
passing the order of detention so as to take the present
petitioner to be a dangerous person and that he has
become a threat to the public order and on overall
consideration of the facts and circumstances it does appear
that the Detaining Authority has failed to strike a balance
between the Constitutional and the legal obligation charged
upon him before passing the detention order and the
manner in which the power of detention has been exercised
in this case. It does not appear to have been exercised
rationally. In fact, the District Magistrate has relied on a
list of 20 cases provided by the Superintendent of Police
while ordering for detention. However, he has not been
taken into consideration that out of the 14 cognizable
cases, there are 6 cases which have not yet been charge-
sheeted yet including the one in which the SP is
apprehensive that the petitioner may receive bail. Moreover,
the learned Counsel for the petitioner has contended that
out of the 20 cases, there are a few cases where the
petitioner has been acquitted, which has not been brought
on record by the SP. Further, the District Magistrate has
11. 11
failed to establish a proper nexus between alleged offence
and order of detention under the grounds of detention.
12. In Yumman Ongbi Lembi Leima v. State of Manipur
and Ors.6, the Hon’ble Supreme Court held that-
“Para 15. …personal liberty of an individual is the
most precious and prized right guaranteed under the
Constitution in Part III thereof. The State has been
granted the power to curb such rights under criminal
laws as also under the laws of preventive detention,
which, therefore, are required to be exercised with
due caution as well as upon a proper appreciation of
the facts as to whether such acts are in any way
prejudicial to the interest and the security of the State
and its citizens, or seek to disturb public law and
order, warranting the issuance of such an order.”
13. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Huidrom
Konungjao Singh Vs. State of Manipur7, held that three
cumulative and additive nature of requirements are to be
satisfied to pass the order of detention; they are:
6
(2012) 2 SCC 176
7
(2012) 7 SCC 181.
12. 12
“Para 9.(i) The authority was fully aware of the fact
that the detenu was actually in custody;
(ii) There was reliable material before the said
authority on the basis of which it could have reason
to believe that there was real possibility of his release
on bail and being released he would probably indulge
in activities, which are prejudicial to public order;
(iii) Necessity to prevent him for which detention
order was required.”
In Rekha v. State of Tamil Nadu through Secretary to
Govt. and Anr.8, where the Supreme Court quashed the
order of detention, while dealing with the issue held:
“Para 8. A perusal of the above statement in para 4
of the grounds of detention shows that no details have
been given about the alleged similar cases in which
bail was allegedly granted by the concerned court.
Neither the date of the alleged bail orders has been
mentioned therein, nor the bail application number,
nor whether the bail orders were passed in respect of
the co-accused on the same case, nor whether the
bail orders were passed in respect of other co-accused
8
(2011) 5 SCC 244.
13. 13
in cases on the same footing as the case of the
accused.”
14. Preventive detention is an exception to the normal
procedure and is sanctioned and authorized for very limited
purpose under Article 22(3)(b) with good deal of safeguards.
The exercise of that power of preventive detention must be
with proper circumspection and due care. In a regime of
constitutional governance, it requires the understanding
between those who exercise power and the people over
whom or in respect of whom such power is exercised. The
legal obligation in this type of case, need to be discharged
with great sense of responsibility even if the satisfaction to
be derived is a subjective satisfaction such subjective
satisfaction has to be based on objective facts. If the
objective facts are missing for the purpose of coming to
subjective satisfaction, in absence of objective facts the
satisfaction leading to an order without due and proper
application of mind will render the order unsustainable. In
view of the above legal position, this Court has expected
from the detaining authority that subjective satisfaction of
the detaining authority should be based on objective facts.
14. 14
15. Similarly, in the instant case, the details of the alleged
bail application have not been provided in the order of
detention, ground of detention or in the application of the
Superintendent of Police, Balasore. Further, no details have
been given about the alleged similar cases in which bail
was allegedly granted by the concerned Court. The only
mention regarding bail is in the letter dated 26.12.2019 by
the Superintendent of Police, Balasore wherein he had
reported that it has come to his knowledge that the
petitioner has arranged for his bail. However, this
statement is entirely ambiguous and this Court cannot rely
on the same. Considering the above submissions, we are of
the view that this Court should not allow the petitioner-
detenu to be kept in custody on the basis of order of
detention which is illegal, bad in law hence amounts to
illegal custody of the petitioner detenu.
16. In view of what is discussed hereinabove, this Writ
Petition deserves to be allowed and accordingly it is
allowed. Consequently, the order of detention approved by
the State Government on 20.02.2020 is quashed. However,
15. 15
we make it clear that this will not affect the criminal cases
pending against the petitioner.
