A legal notice was issued to the respondent on 24.02.2015. Despite service, no payment has been received. Now this winding up petition has been filed. 6. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties on 28.02.2018. 7. The learned counsel for the respondent had on the said date made two submissions to oppose the petition. Firstly, he submitted that the letter of acknowledgement dated 01.09.2014 relied upon by the petitioner has been signed by Mr. Sanjeev Nayyar who is not a director or officer of the respondent company and the acknowledgement is of no avail and cannot be relied upon by the petitioner.

Obviously, the respondent cannot be permit to approbate and reprobate. 14. In view of the above, in my opinion, it is clear that the defence set up by the respondent is moonshine. The company is unable to pay its dues. 15. In Mediquipsystems (P) Ltd. vs. Proxima Medical System GMBH, (2005) 7 SCC 42 the Supreme Court held as follows:- 18. This Court in .....

At the same time, he may also seek the assistance of a valuer to value all assets to facilitate the process of winding up. It will also be open to the Official Liquidator to seek police help in the discharge of his duties, if he considers it appropriate to do so.
