The Reserve Bank can also make an application under section 38 for the winding
up of a banking company if it is directed so to do by an order under clause(b) of Top
sub-section (4) of section 35.
The Reserve Bank may make an application under this section for the winding up
of a banking company-
If the banking company has failed to comply with the requirements specified in
section 11; or has by reason of the provisions of section 22become disentitled to
carry on banking business in India; or has been prohibited from receiving fresh
deposits by an order under clause (a) of sub-section (4) of section 35 or under
clause (b) of sub-section (3A) or section 42 of the Reserve Bank of India, Act, 1934.
If the company has failed to comply with any requirement of the Act other than the
requirements laid down in section 11, has continued such failure, after notice in
writing of such failure or contravention has been conveyed to the banking
company.
When high court order for winding up a liquidator is appointed by the court under
S.38A which is as follow

winding up of banking companies and performing such other duties in reference
thereto as the High Court may impose.
(2) Where having regard to the number of banking companies wound up and other
circumstances of the case, the Central Government is of opinion that it is not

establishment and the cost and expenses of the winding up shall be met out of the
assets of the banking company which is being wound up, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any other law for the time being in force, no
fees shall be payable to the Central Government, out of the assets of the banking
company.]
When high court appoint a court liquidator, the Companies Act is application to
liquidators who is appointed under Section 38A and 39. The liquidator appointed
in such condition will have the same power position that of the official liquidator
for the purpose of winding up process of a banking company.
For the same purpose the liquidator have to submit the preliminary report within 2
months from the date of winding up order by the court for the same giving the
information required by that section so far as it is available to him and also stating
the amount of assets of the banking company in cash which are in his custody or
under his control on the date of the report and the amount of its assets which are
likely to be collected in cash before the expiry of that period of two month s in
order that such assets may be applied speedily towards the making of preferential
payments, under section 530 of the companies Act, 1956, and in the discharge, as
far as possible, of the liabilities and obligations of the banking company to its
depositors and other creditors in accordance with the provisions hereinafter
contained; and the official liquidator shall make for the purposes aforesaid every
endeavor to collect in cash as much of the assets of the banking company as
practicable.
Then after notice to preferential claimants and secured and unsecured creditors
should be served Within fifteen days from the date of the winding up order of a
banking company or where the winding up order has been made before the
commencement of the Banking Companies, within one month from such
commencement, the official liquidator shall, for the purpose of making an estimate
of the debts and liabilities of the banking company, by notice served in such
manner as the Reserve Bank may direct, call upon-
(2) After the preferential payments as aforesaid have been made or adequate
provisions has been made in respect thereof, there shall be paid within the
aforesaid period of three months;
(a) in the first place, to every depositor in the savings bank account of the banking
company a sum of two hundred and fifty rupees or the balance at his credit, Top
whichever is less; and thereafter

two hundred and fifty rupees or the balance at his credit, whichever is less, in

section on a pro rata basis so much of the amount due to the depositor under that
clause as the official liquidator is able to pay with those assets; and shall pay the
rest of that amount to every such depositor as and when sufficient assets are
collected by the official liquidator in cash.
(4) After payments have been made first to depositors in the savings bank account
and then to the other depositors in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the
remaining assets of the banking company available for payment to general
creditors shall be utilized for payment on a pro rata basis of the debts of the
general creditors and of the further sums, in any, due to the depositors; and after
making adequate provision for payment on a pro rata basis as aforesaid of the
debts of the general creditors, the official liquidator shall, as and when the assets
of the company are collected in cash, make payment on a pro rata basis as

securities given to every secured creditor may be redeemed by the official

as assessed by him, or, as the case may be, as assessed by the official liquidator,
on payment of such value; and
(b) where the amount due to the creditor is equal to or less than the value of the
securities as so assessed, on payment of the amount due:
PROVIDED that where the official liquidator is not satisfied with the valuation made

(6) When any claimant, creditor or depositor to whom any payment is to be made
in accordance with 210[the provisions of this section], cannot be found or is not

1956 (1 of 1956);]
(b) payments under clause (a) of sub-section (2) of the depositors in the savings Top

Corporation is liable under section'16 of the Deposit Insurance Corporation Act,
1961 (47 of 1961).
(10) After preferential payments referred to in sub-section (1) have been made or
adequate provision has been made in respect thereof, the remaining assets of the
banking company referred to in sub-section (9) available for payment to general
creditors shall be utilized for payment on pro rata basis of the debts of the general
creditors and of the sums due to the depositors:
PROVIDED that where any amount in respect of any deposit is to be paid by the
liquidator to the Deposit Insurance Corporation under section 21 of the Deposit
Insurance Corporation Act, 1961 (47 of 1961), only the balance, if any, left after
making the said payment shall be payable to the depositor.]
In such condition of winding up the Summary proceedings take place and not the
general proceeding. [S. 45B - The High Court shall, save as otherwise expressly
provided in section 45C, have exclusive jurisdiction to entertain and decide any
claim made by or against a banking company which is being wound up (including
claims by or against any of its branches in India) or any application made under
236[section 391 of the Companies Act, 1956 (1 of 1956)] by or in respect of a
banking company or any question of priorities or any other question whatsoever,
whether of law or fact, which may relate to or arise in the course of the winding up
of a banking company, whether such claim or question has arisen or arises or such
application has been made or is made before or after the date of the order for the
winding up of the banking company or before or after the commencement of the
Banking Companies (Amendment) Act, 1953 (52 of 1953)]
In some condition court can also order for sale of debtor’s property, under Section
45D(7) – [At the time of settling the list of debtors or at any other time prior or
subsequent thereto, the High Court shall have power to pass any order in respect
of a debtor on the application of the official liquidator for the realization,
management, protection, preservation or sale of any property given as security to Top
the banking company and to give such powers to the official liquidator to carry out
th f id di ti th Hi h C t thi k fit ] Thi h ld i th f
the aforesaid directions as the High Court thinks fit.] This was held in the case of
Hanuman Bank Ltd v. P.T.Munia Servai. This is only done when debtor is not paying
debt during the process and this done after serving him a valid notice.
(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Indian Evidence Act,
1872 (1 of 1872), all such entries in the books of account or other documents of a
banking company shall, as against the Directors 216[officers and other employees]
of the banking company in respect of which the winding up order has been made
240[* * *], be prima facie evidence of the truth of all matters purporting to be
therein recorded.
Conclusion
From this all procedure now we can say that the winding up procedure of Banking
Company is not the same as of the other company, but many provision’s image is
found in the Banking Regulation Act for the winding up process.
Most of the time company applies for speedy winding up procedure. By this
process time and money both are saved of banking company and its creditors or
debtors. In such winding up procedure due care is taken by the High court so no
mistake can be made and if any person found guilty then penalized for the same.
By the end of this project I didn’t find my hypothesis to be true as people doesn’t
make any loss due to winding up of banking company as there are special rights to
creditors and if delay is made in payment then they also get the interest. (This is
only applicable to secured creditor at 4%.)

The Union Cabinet is all poised to table an amendment to the marriage laws, which, in the event of a
divorce, would give the wife an equal share of not only the property acquired by the husband during or
before the marriage, but also his inherited or inheritable property. This proposed amendment is already
creating a furore.

That is quite insane proposal. Self-acquired property can be disposed of at will - is the
established law and this contradicts it. Even if elements of social or public interest are there,
Top
those should not totally drown the established law. The maintenance provisions should be
made more stringent and adequate by reform but not such divesting of property for a song
made more stringent and adequate by reform but not such divesting of property for a song.

Mallikarjuna Sharma It is not divesting of property for a song Sharmaji, when two join in
wedlock, they flurish and family become established. This society was men dominated, is
being men dominated and I feel bad and continue to be men dominated. Hence, to safeguard
the interest of women folk who have to face so many illtreatment are protected through this
historic measure. Why not we support.

Execute documents of all the property in the name of your beloved wife and then you will face
the music. men are the strong enemeies of the men and idiotically they see cruelity in men and
the regular and continuous female mess in houses which lead to the disastrous state of affairs
for the men folk and it has become a regular irony and more than 90% of women who seek
divorce recite the stupid stanza that their live is full of thorns and many impedements
espeically after marriage as if their life at their parental houses ran on golden carpet. Present
day should be taken into consideration to ascertain present day oproblems and the days of
great great grand fathers or the inception times of this Kali Yuga.

By demanding women courts, we ourselves are encouraging gender discrimination in our
country. We can't encourage and demand gender discrimination at the same time. It's time to
have more courts and efficient judicial system. Let's demand and create that!!!
