DATE : 21 st NOVEMBER, 2008 Heard Advocate Kumar for applicant/ secured creditor and Official Liquidator for Company in liquidation. Official Liquidator has tendered the reply on record. Advocate Kumar points out that as the advertisement inviting claims was published only in the newspapers at Nagpur and Bhandara, the applicant company having its Head Office at Mumbai, could not lodge the claim and after getting knowledge thereafter, the claim has been lodged. But, there is delay of about 383 days. He also points out that prior to the publication of the said notice, one property was allowed to be sold for Rs.50,00,000/- (Rs. Fifty lacs) and out of that amount, the amount of Rs.30,00,000/- (Rs. Thirty Lacs) had been made over to the applicant's company as ad-hoc payment. Official Liquidator states that process of verification of claims is still going on and no prejudice 2 would be caused if the delay is condoned. In the circumstances, considering the facts, delay of 383 days is condoned. Application is disposed of. JUDGE Rvjalit
