It may be noted that the power of the court to order winding up is discretionary and there is no rigid formula. The Court may refuse to hold the company insolvent on other considerations including that of public interest even after the requirements of the notice are complied with. The Company Court, at times, does not only look into the interest of the creditors, but also the interests of public at large.
