The applications filed in the appeals to implead the legal heirs of deceased M.S.Ahmed, the then Managing Partner of the appellant Company, are allowed.

(2) In our opinion, the Kerala State Co-operative Bank Ltd.,Thiruvananthapuram, which has filed impleading applications in the appeals, is not a necessary party for effective disposal of the Writ Appeals. Therefore the said applications are rejected. (3) Since common questions of law and facts are involved in all these appeals and the writ petition, they are clubbed, heard and disposed of by this common order. (4) In all these appeals and the writ petition, the primary grievance of the appellant/petitioner is against the action of the Kerala StateIndustrial Development Corporation (“Corporation” for short) in initiating proceedings under Section 29 of the State Financial Corporations Act, 1951 to take over the mortgaged assets of the appellant Company and effecting sale of the same for realisation of the amounts due to the Corporation. Theconsequential relief sought for is, for a direction to the respondents to pass anappropriate order on the application filed by the appellant for grant of OneTime Settlement benefit under the One Time Settlement Scheme.
