2023 (10) TMI 1220 - HC - Companies LawSeeking transfer of proceedings pending before High Courts relating to winding to the NCLT - HELD THAT:- The petition was filed some time in 2015 and since then, the pleadings have been completed in the matter. However, no further orders have been passed. In the meantime, the Companies Act, 1956 has been amended and a provision has been enacted for transfer of winding up proceedings pending before the High Courts. Transfer of proceedings pending before High Courts relating to winding to the NCLT has been provided in Section 434 of the Companies Act, 1956. The Supreme Court in ACTION ISPAT AND POWER PVT. LTD. VERSUS SHYAM METALICS AND ENERGY LTD. [2020 (12) TMI 535 - SUPREME COURT], has held that winding up proceedings which have not reached an advanced stage ought to be transferred to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). In the opinion of this Court, since hardly any proceedings have been taken towards winding up of the company, the petition no longer deserves to be continued before this Court. The petition is itself at the very nascent stage and no substantive orders have been passed towards winding up of the company. The petition is liable to be transferred to the NCLT. Parties to appear before the NCLT on 2nd November, 2023.
