Facts of the Case

Background

AMCAST (Private) Limited, placed under corporate rescue in October 2022, sought to rescind that order on grounds of improper service and financial capacity. The company’s director, Harsora, filed the application, but the respondent union argued that the board had no authority post-rescue. The court found that the deponent lacked authority under the Insolvency Act, rendering the application void.
