2. The grievance of the petitioner is that the report dated 18.10.2002, pursuant to which the impugned order has been passed by the respondents coming to the conclusion that the possibility of reviving the company was virtually nil, was not furnished to them.
3. In these circumstances, the respondents are directed to give the petitioner a copy of the report dated 18.10.2002 and give the petitioner six weeks time to come up with the proposal on the basis of the aforesaid report and thereafter come to a final decision regarding the petitioner Company.
4. It is open to the petitioner to communicate this order to the respondents right away. It is also open to the petitioner and the respondents to consider the proposal without bearing in mind the pendency of the writ petition and thereafter, report the same to the Court.
5. In the above circumstances, the respondents are directed to furnish a copy of the report dated 18.10.2002 and postpone the final decision for six weeks by which time the petitioner may furnish an alternate proposal for rehabilitation of the petitioner.
Petitioner is also permitted to communicate this by wire."
3. It is common knowledge that Sick Industrial Companies Act, 1986 has been repealed with effect from 01.12.2016 on account of which BIFR and AIFR have become defunct.
4. In the light of the above, nothing survives in this writ petition and the same is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CS III) //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar Jrl To 1.
