    Solution

    Correct Answer: 3 Winding Up by the Tribunal (Section 357(2))- Where a petition for winding up is presented to the Tribunal, the winding up is deemed to commence from the very moment the petition was presented . This prevents directors from siphoning off assets or making fraudulent preferences between the time the petition is filed and the final order is passed. Any disposition of property or transfer of shares made after the presentation of the petition is void unless the Tribunal orders otherwise.
