393. Power of court to declare dissolution of company void

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

(1)

Where a company has been dissolved, the court may at any time within two years from the date of the dissolution on an application being made for the purpose by the liquidator of the company, or by any other person who appears to the court to be interested, make an order upon such terms as the court thinks fit, declaring the dissolution to have been void, and thereupon such proceedings may be taken as might have been taken if the company had not been dissolved.

(2)

It shall be the duty of the person on whose application the order under the provisions of subsection (1) was made, within seven days from the date of the order or such further time as the court may allow, to deliver to the Registrar for registration a certified copy of such order, and where such person fails to do so he shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding fifty thousand rupees.
