'3. I state that I was working as a General Manager (Design Service) in M/s.VTX Industries Limited from the year 2011. I state that since the Respondent Company was not functioning well and was in lock out for a long period of time. As I was in search o job for my livelihood and as I had no regular contact with the workers union, I was not aware of the developments in the Company.

4. I state that on further enquiry, I came to know that all the creditors of the company in liquidation has to file their claim 1/3

before the Official Liquidator in a prescribed format, Form No.66.'
