Holding
Continuation of liquidation where a company has no assets or claims is futile, and the company should be dissolved.
Summary
The High Court considered a series of Official Liquidator reports seeking the dissolution of thirty companies under the Companies Act, 1956. Each report indicated that the respective company had no assets, funds, or recoverable debts and that no claims had been filed against them. The petitioners argued that continuing the liquidation process would be futile and serve no purpose. The Court examined the submissions and the reports, finding that the absence of assets and claims rendered further liquidation unnecessary. Consequently, the Court allowed the Official Liquidator’s reports and ordered the dissolution of the companies, disposing of the petitions.
Issues considered
- Whether a company with no assets, funds, or recoverable debts and no claims filed should be dissolved under the Companies Act, 1956.
- Whether continuation of the liquidation process in such circumstances constitutes a futile exercise.

2. Mr. Hariani submits that, the reason for dissolution is that the Companies
do not have any funds or assets and /or recoverable debts. He further points out
that though claims had been invited, no claims have been received and thus it
would be of no use to continue with liquidation process.
3. Having heard learned counsel and having perused the Official Liquidator
Reports, I find merit in the submissions made, the Official Liquidator has set out
that the Company does not have any funds or assets and /or recoverable debts
therefore, the continuation of the liquidation process would be an exercise in
futility and would endeavor to the benefits of none.
4 Hence the Official Liquidator Reports are accordingly allowed and
disposed of.
