ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN, J.-The facts giving rise to this petition are, briefly, that Pakistan Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation advanced several loans in foreign exchange currency to the petitioner-Company for the establishment and extension of its business on certain terms which had been formally reduced into writing. The petitioner-Company was, however, unable to meet its liabilities whereupon respondent No. 1 initiated proceed--ings against it under section 162 of the Companies Act, for winding up of the Company and for appointment of a Liquidator. This petition was allowed by the learned Single Judge of the High Court, vide judgment order dated 18-1-1977.
Feeling aggrieved, the petitioner filed an I. C. A., which was heard and dismissed by a Division Bench of the same High Court, vide judgment dated 2-2-1980. Hence the present Petition.
2. The only point urged by the learned counsel for the petitioner was that the respondent who had advanced a secured debt could not move the Court for winding up unless it had surrendered the security. It was objected that this contention had not been raised before the learned Division Bench of the High Court against which order. Leave to Appeal is being sought. The petitioner's counsel took up the position that this contention had been urged though in another form.
3. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, examining the record and going through the relevant portion of the impugned judgment we find that this point was not taken up by the petitioner before the Division Bench of the High Court. He cannot, therefore, be permitted to raise the same at this stage. The petition is consequently dismissed.
