CORAM : R.D. DHANUKA, J.

DATE : 24TH FEBRUARY, 2017.

P.C. :- 1.

Pursuant to the order passed by this Court on 27th January, 2017, the learned Official Liquidator applied for clarification 1/2

60-olr321-16 of the order dated 13th June, 2016 passed by Shri Justice G.S. Patel. By an order dated 1st February, 2017, Shri Justice G.S. Patel has clarified the order dated 13th June, 2016 which indicates that the Official Liquidator was not directed to take physical possession of the properties of the respondents.

2.

In view of the clarification issued by Shri Justice G.S. Patel by an order dated 1st February, 2017, in my view the directions sought by the Official Liquidator for issuing a direction to the secured creditors to take possession of the properties of the company in liquidation has become infructuous and does not survive. Official Liquidator's Report is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. 3.

There is no dispute as on today that there is no stay granted by the Division Bench of the order passed by Shri Justice G.S. Patel on 13th June, 2016 permitting the Official Liquidator to take symbolic possession of the assets of the respondent company. (R.D. DHANUKA, J.) 2/2
