1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION jmi COMPANY PETITION NO. 1015 OF 2008. In the matter of winding up of M/s. Crown Maritime Co. (I) Ltd. Harendra Singh Bisht. ..Petitioner. .... Mr. Akshay Patil, i/b. Satendra Kumar, for Petitioner. .... CORAM : S.J. KATHAWALLA, J. DATE : 18TH MARCH 2010. P.C. The above company petition is for final hearing. The petition is admitted by a detailed order of this Court dated 3rd April 2009. By the said order, this Court has recorded that there is no defense to the claim of the petitioner. However, with a view to give the company one more chance, the company was allowed to pay Rs.5,33,793/- together with interest @ 12% per annum from 7th October 2008 till payment within a period of four weeks from the date of the order being served on the company by the petitioner. In case of failure on the part of the company, to pay the said amount to the petitioner, the petition was to stand admitted and advertised. Since the company failed 2 to pay the said amount as directed by the order dated 3rd April 2009, the petition was advertised, as set out in the affidavit proving publication dated 16th September 2009. No reply is filed after the petition was admitted by this Court. 2. The learned Advocate appearing for the company states that he has no instructions from the company since 3rd April 2009. The statement made by the learned Advocate is not correct, since on 16th October 2009, the very same Advocate had applied for time which was granted by this Court upto 7th November 2009 as a last chance. It is therefore, obvious that the company is only attempting to delay the hearing of the petition on some pretext or the other. 3. For the reasons set out in the order passed by this Court dated 3rd April 2009 whilst admitting the company petition, the company petition is allowed in terms of prayer clauses (a) and (b).
