Re : Gontermann Peipers (India) Ltd. -And- v. Union Roadways Limited

OD-19 CP/647/2016

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

ORIGINAL JURISDICTION ORIGINAL SIDE RE : GONTERMANN PEIPERS (INDIA) LTD. -AND VS UNION ROADWAYS LIMITED

BEFORE:

The Hon'ble JUSTICE RAVI KRISHAN KAPUR Date : 20th January, 2023.

The Court:- I find from an earlier order of Court that no final order of winding up has yet been passed in respect of the company (in liquidation). I find that the matter is at the "pre-admission stage". In view of the amended provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and in view of the decisions in Action Ispat and Power Private Limited-versus-Shyam Metalics and Energy Limited reported in (2021) 2 SCC 641 and in A. Navinchandra Steels Private Limited - versus- Srei Equipment Finance Limited and Others reported in AIR 2021 SC 1180, in my view this Court does not have any jurisdiction to entertain this matter. There is no irreversible situation which has arisen warranting this Court retaining this proceeding.

In view of the aforesaid, CP/647/2016 stands transferred to the National Company Law Tribunal, Kolkata.

The Department shall treat CP/647/2016 as disposed of insofar as the records of this Court are concerned.

It is needless to mention that all connected applications also stand transferred to the National Company Law Tribunal, Kolkata. (RAVI KRISHAN KAPUR, J.) SK.
