@JUDGMENTTAG-ORDER

P.T. Raman Nayar, J.@mdashThe applicant had already entered appearance to support the petition for winding up when the winding up petitioner

died. The applicants and the winding up petitioner are all contributories seeking a winding up under the just and equitable clause. The cause of

action is one common to all of them and I think that the death of the winding up petitioner is sufficient cause for an order of substitution under rule

101 of the Companies (Court) Rules. In fact it seems to me a stronger cause than the causes specifically mentioned in clauses (1) to (4) of the rule

and I think it clearly comes with the ""other sufficient cause"" of the following clause. Even if this is to be read ejusdem generis with clauses 1 to 4

which provide for cases of default or disability on the part of the original petitioner it would cover the case of death which is the ultimate and most

absolute default of disability.

I allow the application.
