ORDER

This Application has been filed for reopening the evidence of the respondents 5 and 6 in A.Nos.92 to 97 of 2020 in I.P. No.32 of 2018.

2. Head Mr.Avinash Wadhwani, learned counsel for the Applicant and Mr.K.V.Ananthakrishnan, learned counsel for the respondent respectively.

3. The learned counsel for the respondent would vehemently oppose the Application for reopening of evidence of the respondents 5 & 6 in A. Nos.92 to 97 of 2020 in I.P.No.32 of 2018. According to the learned counsel for the respondent, this matter has been referred before the learned Master even as early as on 09.04.2024. Despite several adjournments, the Applicant has not prosecuted it and has intentionally dragged the matter and hence the Applicant does not deserve any indulgence and prayed for dismissal of this Application.

4. I have gone through the affidavit filed in support of the Application. Considering the Application filed to annul the transactions in 7/15

favour of the respondents 5 & 6, a fair opportunity should be afforded to the applicant to putforth their case. In view of the above, this Application is allowed, however with a rider that evidence shall be let in and the learned Master shall complete the recording of evidence of respondents 5 & 6, on or before 21.12.2024.

5. Post the matter before the learned Master for recording evidence on 12.12.2024. The proof Affidavit of the respondents 5 & 6 shall be served in advance to the learned counsel for the Applicant.

6. Post the matter on 06.01.2025 before this Court. 09-12-2024 To 1.THE OFFICIAL ASSIGNEE HIGH COURT, MADRAS.
