The learned counsel for the appellant is unable to point out that the Company’s financial position is sound to meet the liabilities. In fact, looking to the facts and circumstances and considering the report of the Chartered Accountant, in our view, the Company in question deserves to be wound up as it is totally in an insolvent position. Appeal dismissed. - APPEAL (L) NO. 559 OF 2010 AND COMPANY PETITION NO. 189 OF 2008 - - - Dated:- 27-10-2010 - P.B. MAJMUDAR AND ANOOP V. MOHTA, JJ. Yogesh Mehta and Sachin S.

In the view that we have taken and finding that the law laid down in Krishna Filaments cannot be said to be any longer valid and good in the light of the statutory provisions that the further issue, about correctness of the conclusions recorded by Division Bench in paras 25 and 26 and the interpretation placed on the definition of the word "debt" need to be considered.

So far as assignment of debt is concerned, recently the Hon ble Supreme Court of India in the case of ICICI Bank Ltd. v. Official Liquidator of APS Star Industries Ltd. [2010] 104 SCL 37 decided on 30th September, 2010 has upheld such assignment.

If there is a silver lining, then the dark clouds need not impel the Company Court into admitting the petition for winding up the company. But is there a silver lining at all in the appellant s case is the crucial question. We have already referred to the gist of the affidavit in reply filed to oppose admission of the winding up petition. One would have expected the argument to be based on surer foundation.
