Joint Stock Companies Act, 1857

Power of Court to adopt Proceedings of voluntary Winding-up.

XIX. Where a Company is in course of being wound up voluntarily, and Proceedings are taken for the Purpose of having the same wound up by the Court, the Court may, if it thinks fit, notwithstanding that it makes an Order directing the Company to be wound up by the Court, provide in such Order or in any other Order for the Adoption of all or any of the Proceedings taken in the course of the voluntary Winding-up: It may also, instead of making an Order that the Company should be altogether wound up by the Court, direct that the voluntary Winding-up should continue, but subject to such Supervision of the Court, and with such Liberty for Creditors, Contributories, or others to apply to the Court, and generally upon such Terms and subject to such Conditions as the Court thinks just.
