ORAL ORDER:
(Per Hon’ble Mr. Justice Bilal Nazki) Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has moved an application before the Official Liquidator, which is not being disposed of. Learned counsel appearing for the Official Liquidator submits that the writ petition is not maintainable, and a company application has to be filed before the Company Court. In view of the very short controversy and in view of almost an innocuous relief claimed, we do not go into the question of maintainability of the writ petition, and therefore, direct the Official Liquidator to dispose of the application filed by the petitioner in accordance with law within two weeks. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. ______________ Bilal Nazki, J. ___________________ S.Ananda Reddy, J. Dt. 09.11.2004 Kvh To
