Petitioners And Nirmala Khanderao Bhirud .. Applicant Versus The Official Liquidator of M/s Trimurti Housing Development Ltd. .. Respondent Ms. B. S. Panicker for the Applicant Mr. Miteen Naik i/by Dhru & Co. for Surupchand Hukumchand Dy. O. L. present CORAM : S. J. KATHAWALLA, J. DATE : 17th September, 2010 P.C.: 1. By this Application, the Applicant seeks condonation of delay of about 15 years, 4 months and 4 days to file a claim with the Official liquidator. 2. According to the Applicant, her husband had by making a payment of Rs.15000/- in the year 1984 booked a flat with M/s Trimurti Property Development & Investment Ltd. which was subsequently registered and incorporated as M/s Trimurti Housing Development Ltd. The Company was wound up by an order dated 17th August, 1989 passed in Company Petition No. 806 of 1988. Thereafter the Official Liquidator had on 10/11 th 2 August, 1995 invited claims from the creditors/workers by issuing notices in Indian Express, Mumbai and Pune, Loksatta (Pune) and Sakal (Pune). She submits that her husband who expired in the year 2009 was not in a position to file his claim because of his ill health. She submits that she was not aware whether the company was wound up. 3. Since the amount of Rs.15,000/- was paid by the husband of the Applicant about 25 years back i.e. in the year 1984 and no action was taken by the husband of the applicant against the Company for a period of 5 years before the winding up of the Company, the claim of the Applicant is hopelessly time bard. In view thereof, the question of condoning the delay does not arise. 4. The Company Application is dismissed. (S. J. KATHAWALLA, J.) 1.
