Companies Act, 1956
Sec 588 - Directions as to property in certain cases.
(1) If an unregistered company has no power to
sue and be sued in a common name, or if for any reason it appears expedient,
the Court may, by the winding up order or by any subsequent order, direct that
all or any part of the property, movable or immovable (including actionable claims),
belonging to the company or held by trustees on its behalf, shall vest in the
Official Liquidator by his official name; and thereupon the property or the
part thereof specified in the order shall vest accordingly.
(2) The Official Liquidator may, after giving
such indemnity, if any, as the Court may direct, bring or defend in his
official name any suit or legal proceeding relating to the property, or which
it is necessary to bring or defend for the purpose of effectually winding up
the company and recovering its property.
