The petitioner is a Court Auction Purchaser. Though the sale in favour of the petitioner has been confirmed, the entries in the office of the first respondent indicate the name of the respondents 2 to 5 as the directors of the Mahalakshmi Textile Mills Limited.
2. It is the case of the petitioner that the Mill has wound up. However, in view of the names of the respondents 2 to 4 having been shown in the website of the first respondent, the private respondents 2 to 4 claiming that the property purchased by the petitioner is that of the Mill and therefore, they are entitled to have right over the same and thereby, they, being the Directors, are interfering with the rights of the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

4. Considering the limited scope of the writ petition and without going into the merits of the case, this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner dated 03.07.2015, after affording an opportunity to the petitioner as well as the respondents 2 to 4, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
