The High Court of Justice made a winding-up order against Kumar Freight Line Ltd on 20 May 2026, placing the Tipton-based firm into compulsory liquidation. A compulsory liquidation is the process by which a court order brings a company's affairs to a close and its assets are realised for creditors.
The petition that triggered the order was filed on 2 April 2026, carrying court case number 002563 of 2026. Kumar Freight Line Ltd was registered at 56 Scott Street, Tipton, DY4 7AG, in the West Midlands.
The company
Kumar Freight Line Ltd was incorporated on 18 January 2018. Its SIC codes at Companies House list its activities under non-specialised food store retailing and petrol station retailing, though the company traded under the name of a freight line operator. Its last accounts were made up to 31 January 2024.
The officers
Kamaljit Kaur was the sole serving director at the time of the order, having been appointed on 23 September 2020. Two earlier directors had already left the company by that point. Jugraj Singh Chahal served as director from 25 May 2020 until 23 September 2020. Sanjeev Kumar, appointed at incorporation on 18 January 2018, resigned on 25 May 2020.
Secured lender
Together Commercial Finance Limited holds two outstanding registered charges over the company, both created on 9 March 2021 and delivered to Companies House on 11 March 2021. Both charges relate to land at Hickman Avenue, Wolverhampton. As a secured creditor, Together Commercial Finance Limited's debt is backed by a charge over an identified asset, and it ranks ahead of unsecured creditors in any distribution from the liquidation.
What happens next
Following a winding-up order, the Official Receiver, a civil servant of the Insolvency Service, automatically takes office as liquidator. The Official Receiver's role is to investigate the company's affairs and realise its assets for the benefit of creditors. Creditors wishing to register a claim will need to submit a proof of debt, the formal claim form used to evidence the amount owed to them.
No administrators were appointed in this case, and the bundle contains no web reporting relevant to the company's circumstances prior to the order.

Did you work at Kumar Freight Line Limited.?
On a winding-up order, employees are usually dismissed immediately. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The Official Receiver will provide RP1 case-reference numbers and the date of insolvency you need to start the claim. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Kumar Freight Line Limited.?
Customers rank as unsecured creditors in the liquidation. Where you paid by credit card and the amount was over £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 may let you claim from the card issuer for breach of contract or misrepresentation by the supplier; the rules apply per item, not per transaction, and the card must be a regulated credit card. Debit-card payments may be recoverable via chargeback.
Are you a director of a company connected to Kumar Freight Line Limited.?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the winding-up order is made. If you intend to be involved in another company using the same or a similar name within five years, you must rely on one of the three statutory exceptions. The Official Receiver also has a statutory duty to investigate director conduct and report under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.
