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.

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.

RIGHTS OF VICTIM EDITED PRESENTATION(SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Victims of crime have a range of rights designed to ensure their protection, support, and participation in the justice system. These rights include the right to be treated with dignity and respect, the right to be informed about the progress of their case, and the right to be heard during legal proceedings. Victims are entitled to protection from intimidation and harm, access to support services such as counseling and medical care, and the right to restitution from the offender. Additionally, many jurisdictions provide victims with the right to participate in parole hearings and the right to privacy to protect their personal information from public disclosure. These rights aim to acknowledge the impact of crime on victims and to provide them with the necessary resources and involvement in the judicial process.
2. Definition
It is a contract by which the ownership of movable
goods is transferred from the seller to the buyer.
The term ‘contract of sale’ is defined in Section 4(1)
of the Sale of Goods Act as-
“A contract of sale of goods is a contract
whereby the seller transfers or agrees to
transfer the property in goods to the buyer for a
price”
The Sale of Goods Act extends to whole of India
except the State of Jammu and Kashmir
Prof. SVK
3. Essentials of a Contract of Sale
(i) All requirements of a valid contract must be
fulfilled
(ii) Two Parties –
(iii) Goods
(iv) Transfer of Property
(v) Price
(vi) Includes both a ‘sale’ and ‘agreement to sale’
(vii) No formalities are required
Prof. SVK
8. (ii) Specific goods : Goods identified and agreed
upon at the time of the making of the contract of
sale are called ‘specific goods’ [Sec. 2(14)]. It may be
noted that in actual practice the term ‘ascertained
goods’ is used in the same sense as ‘specific goods,’
For example, where A agrees to sell to B a
particular radio bearing a distinctive number, there
is a contract of sale of specific or ascertained goods
Prof. SVK
9. (iii)unascertained goods :The goods, which are not
separately identified or ascertained at the time of the making of
the contract, are known as ‘unascertained goods.’ They
are indicated or defined only by description. For example, if
A agrees to sell to B one bag of sugar out of the lot of
one hundred bags lying in his godown; it is a sale
of unascertained goods because it is not known which bag is to
be delivered. As soon as a particular bag is separated from the
lot for delivery, it becomes ascertained or specific goods.
Prof. SVK
10. (iv) Future Goods- Future goods are goods to be
manufactured or produced or yet to be acquired by seller.
There cannot be present sale in respect future goods because
the property cannot pass. This is applicable to goods which are
subject matter of the agreement to sale.
Example
(a) A agrees to sell to B all the milk that his cow may yield
during the coming year. This is a contract for the sale of future
goods.
(b)X agrees to sell to Y all the mangoes, which will be produced
in his garden next year. It is contract of sale of future goods,
amounting to ‘an agreement to sell.’
Prof. SVK
11. (v) Contingent Goods- Though a type of future goods,
these are the goods the acquisition of which by the seller
depends upon a contingency, which may or may not happen
[Sec. 6 (2)].
Example
A agrees to sell specific goods in a particular ship to B to be
delivered on the arrival of the ship. If the ship arrives but with
no such goods on board, the seller is not liable, for the contract
is to deliver the goods should they arrive.
i.e. the goods arriving by ships etc.
Prof. SVK
12. Sale and Agreement to sell
The ownership is
transferred immediately
Executed contract
A seller can sue for
price. He has all the
right of unpaid seller
Sale takes place in the
case of existing goods
usually.
A buyer bears the risk.
At some future date
Executory Contract
A seller can sue for
damages.
An agreement to sell takes
place in the case of future
goods.
A seller bears the risk.
Prof. SVK
13. Stipulation, Condition & Warranty
A representation which forms part of the contract of
sale and affects the contract, is called a stipulation.
A stipulation which is most important for
formation of the contract of sale is known as a
‘condition’.
A stipulation which is collateral or of least
importance for the formation of the contract of sale,
is known as a ‘warranty’.
Prof. SVK
14. Conditions
Section 12(2) of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930 defines
condition as, “a condition is a stipulation essential
to the main purpose of the contract, the breach of
which gives rise to right to treat the contract as
repudiated.”
Example: Buyer wanted a horse which could run at a
speed of 45 m.p.h.
Prof. SVK
15. Implied Conditions
(i) Condition as to Title [Sec 14(a)]
(ii) Condition as to Description [Sec 15]
(iii) Condition as to Sample [Sec 17(2)]
(iv) Condition as to Sample as well as Description [Sec 15]
(v) Condition as to Quality or Fitness for Buyer’s purpose
[Section 16(1)]
(vi) Condition as to Merchantability
[Section 16(2)]
(vii)Condition as to Wholesomeness
Prof. SVK
16. Condition as to Title [Sec 14(a)]
It is the most important implied condition in a
contract of sale that seller has the right to sell the
goods.
.
Prof. SVK
17. Condition as to Description [Sec 15]
Whenever the goods are sold by description, the
implied condition is that the goods shall correspond
with the description.
’
Prof. SVK
18. Condition as to Sample
In a sale by sample there is a implied condition that the
goods shall correspond with the sample in quality, and
the goods shall be free from the defects which render
them unmerchantable.
Sale by sample has following three conditions:
(i) Correspondence of Goods with sample in quality [sec
17(2)(a)]
(ii) Reasonable opportunity of comparing goods with the
sample [Sec 17(2)(b)]
(iii) Merchantability of Goods [Sec 17(2)(c)]
Prof. SVK
19. Condition as to Sample as well as Description
[Sec 15]
Sometimes, the seller shows sample to the buyer and
also gives him description. In such case, the implied
condition is that the goods shall correspond with
both, the sample as well description.
Prof. SVK
20. Condition as to Merchantability
[Section 16(2)]
The term merchantability means two things:
(i) If goods are purchased for resale, they should be
immediately re-saleable; &
(ii) If goods are purchased for self use then they should be
reasonably fit for the purpose for which they are
generally used.
.
Prof. SVK
21. Condition & Warranties
Condition is a
stipulation which is
essential to the main
purpose of the
contract.
It is of vital
importance
Warranties are subsidiary
or collateral to the main
purpose of the contract.
It is not of vital importance.
The main contract can be
completed even if warranty
is not fulfilled.
Prof. SVK
22. Condition & Warranties
In case of breach of
condition, the buyer
may put an end to the
contract.
A breach of condition
may be treated as a
breach of warranty.
In case of breach of
warranty, the buyer cannot
put an end to the contract.
He can only claim
damages from the seller.
A breach of warranty
cannot be treated as a
breach of condition.
Prof. SVK
23. Doctrine of Caveat Emptor
[Sec 16]
The doctrine of caveat emptor is a fundamental
principle of law of sale of goods. It means ‘Caution
Buyer’ i.e. ‘let the buyer beware’. In other words, it is
no part of the seller’s duty to point out defects in his
own goods. The buyer must inspect the goods to find
out if they will suit his purpose e.g. certain pigs are
sold ‘subject to all faults’. These pigs being infected
cause typhoid to the other healthy pigs of the buyer.
The rule of caveat emptor would apply.
Prof. SVK
26. UNPAID SELLER:-
Seller :- A person who sells the goods or agrees to sell the goods is called
seller.
Unpaid :- It means payment is not made or without
payment. In simple words, "Unpaid seller" means a person who has sold
the goods for a price but price has not been paid to him.

Unpaid Seller Is A Person :-
i. To whom the whole price has not been paid or tendered.
