THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI Company Application No.1510 of 2010 Date: 22.12.2010 Between: M/s. Sunrise Oleo Chemicals Limited, Rep., by its Official Liquidator, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad. …Applicant THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI Company Application No.1510 of 2010 O R D E R: M/s. Sunrise Oleo Chemicals Limited was ordered to be wound up by this Court by order dated 23.03.2001 in C.P.No.67 of 1991 and the Official Liquidator attached to this Court was appointed as its liquidator. In pursuance of the subsequent order dated 29.04.2004 made in C.A.No.1019 of 2008, the Official Liquidator had sold the plant and machinery of the company in liquidation and the possession of the said properties was handed over to the highest bidders on 31.05.2009. Subsequently, by order dated 19.02.2010 in C.A.No.133 of 2010 this Court directed the Official Liquidator to invite claims from the creditors of the company in liquidation. Accordingly, the notice was ordered in the news papers inviting claims and in response to the same, three claims were received. After adjudication all the claims, the Official Liquidator submitted certificate of list of creditors in Form No.71 in terms of Rule 167 of the Companies (Court) Rules, 1959. However, since there is delay of 145 days in filing the certificate in Form No.71, the present application is filed to condone the said delay and to take the certificate in Form No.71 on record. In the counter affidavit filed in support of the application, it is explained that as the claimants/secured creditors did not file their claims/evidence within the stipulated date, there was delay in adjudication and filing the certificate in Form No.71 and the said delay is neither willful nor wanton. Having heard Sri M.Anil Kumar, the learned counsel appearing for the Official Liquidator and having perused the material available on record, I am satisfied that a sufficient cause is made out for the delay of 145 days in filing the certificate in Form No.71. Accordingly, the delay is hereby condoned and Form No.71 certificate is taken on record. There shall be a direction to the Registry to notify Form No.71 in the notice board of this Court under Rule 159 of the Companies (Court) Rules, 1959. The Company Application is accordingly ordered. No costs. ______________ G.ROHINI,J Date : 22.12.2010 KLP
