Any member holding at least 10% (public company) or any two or more members (private company) can file a petition.
Section 271 — Winding Up Grounds
Winding up can be ordered on grounds of inability to pay debts, just and equitable grounds, or fraud.

Struck-off companies can be restored within 20 years by an NCLT order on sufficient cause being shown.
NCLAT Appeal — 45 Days

NCLT matters are time-critical — missing filing deadlines can result in loss of remedies. The 45-day appeal window before NCLAT is strict. Petitions for oppression and mismanagement must be filed promptly — delays can affect the relief granted by the Tribunal.
