397. APPLICATION TO TRIBUNAL FOR RELIEF IN CASES OF OPPRESSION
(1) Any members of a company who complain that the affairs of the company are being conducted in a manner prejudicial to public interest or in a manner oppressive to any member or members (including any one or more of themselves) may apply to the Tribunal for an order under this section, provided such members have a right so to apply in virtue of section 399.
(2) If, on any application under sub-section (1), the Tribunal is of opinion-
(a) that the company’s affairs are being conducted in a manner prejudicial to public interest or in a manner oppressive to any member or members ; and
(b) that to wind up the company would unfairly prejudice such member or members, but that otherwise the facts would justify the making of a winding up order on the ground that it was just and equitable that the company should be wound up ; the Tribunal may, with a view to bringing to an end the matters complained of, make such order as it thinks fit.
