On the last date, this Court has recorded the statement of learned counsel for the Applicant and matter was adjourned to seeks instructions. The learned counsel for the Applicant, on instructions, submitted that the Applicant is ready to return money to the other purchasers. Now today, the Applicant is aware that this is a last working week and to avoid to return money, he has engaged new Advocate to contest the matter.
