..... otice dated 13.10.2015, the Respondent has sent a reply dated 26.10.2015 expressing their financial difficulties and has requested the Petitioner for one week time to clear the outstanding due. As requested by the Respondent, the Petitioner has waited for more than one month and has given sufficient time than what was requested by the Respondent in their reply letter dated 26.10.2015. (7) It is stated that the Respondent is legally indebted for a sum of ₹ 47,06,719/- (Rupees Forty Seven Lakhs Six Thousand Seven Hundred and Nineteen Only) and liable to reimburse the outstanding amount which the Petitioner is legitimately entitled from the Respondent. The Respondent was served with a statutory notice under Section 433 (e) and 434 of the Companies Act, 1956. Since the Respondent has failed to refund the outstanding amount after the service of the statutory notice under Section 433(e) and 434, it should be deemed that the Respondent is unable to pay its debt and in such an event it would be just and equitable that the Respondent be wound up by an order of this Hon'ble Court under the provisions of the Companies Act. (8) It is stated that the Respondent was served with a .....

We have carefully perused the pleadings of both the Parties and extant provisions of Companies Act, 1956/2013 and the law on the issue. 6. Mr. Vivek B.N., learned Counsel for the Petitioner, has once again asked adjournment to take necessary steps to comply with provisions of Code. 7. The Respondent has filed a Memo of submissions dated 27.02.2020 by inter alia contending as follows: a. The present Company Petition already stands abated in terms of the Companies (Transfer of Pending Proceedings) Rules, 2016, Section 434(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013 (for short, the '2013 Act) was notified and came into force with effect from 15.12.2016. On and from that date, all proceedings relating to winding up, among other proceedings under the Companies Act, 1956 (for short, the '1956 Act'), pending immediately before such date before. High court shall stand transferred to the Tribunal. b. The first proviso states that only such proceedings relating to winding up of Companies shall be transferred to the Tribunal that are at a stage as may be prescribed by the Central Government. In pursuance of th .....

..... d proviso to section 434910(c) of the 2013 Act does allow the parties to any proceedings to make an Application for transfer of such proceedings to the Tribunal. The court may by an order transfer such proceedings to the tribunal and the proceedings so transferred shall be dealt with by the Tribunal as an application under the Code. It is submitted that in case of transfer under second proviso to section 434(1)(c), there would be no application of the provisions of TPP Rules, 2016 and not necessity for furnishing the information as required under section 7, 8, or 9 of the Code. However, these would be applicable only in respect of the pending matters immediately before commencement of IBC (Amendment) Ordinance, 2018 (i.e. 06.06.018). Since the present Company Petition was no longer pending before the High Court on that date by virtue of it being transferred on 15.12.2016 by automatic operation of law, the second proviso can have no application. It also does not appear that the transfer of the petition by the High Court was on an a\Application made by the Petitioner. h. It is further pointed out that the Hon'ble High Court, by an order dated 14.09.2017 made an observation tha .....
