Bar, only operates on actual winding up order or the order appointing Provisional Manager. Object of section 316 of the Ordinance, 1984, is to regulate the pending suit or proceedings pending in any other Courts so that none of the creditors may be prejudiced, their rights and interest are not adversely affected while distributing the assets of Company, amongst them, in accordance with their entitlement and priority if any.
