Companies (Court) Rules, 1959

102. Procedure on substitution

Where the Judge makes an order substituting a creditor or contributory as petitioner in a winding-up petition, he shall adjourn the hearing of the petition to a date to be fixed by him and direct such amendments of the petition as may be necessary. Such creditor or contributory shall, within 7 days from the making of the order, amend the petition accordingly, and file two clean copies thereof together with an affidavit in duplicate setting out the grounds, on which he supports the petition. The amended petition shall be treated as the petition for the winding-up of the company and shall be deemed to have been presented on the date on which the original petition was presented.
