JUDGMENT :
A. THE CHALLENGE
1. These Appeals are filed challenging the order dated 17 May 2016 passed by the City Civil Court allowing Notice of Motion No. 4443 of 2015 filed by the Plaintiff No.2 in terms of prayer clauses (d) and (e). The City Civil Court has proceeded to reject Notice of Motion No.4970 of 2015 filed by the heirs of Defendant No.1. The order dated 17 May 2016 has been corrected by the City Civil Court by order dated 19 July 2016. The issue before the City Civil Court was about appointment of agent of Court Receiver in respect of business and property of the partnership firm. The net result of the impugned orders passed by the City Civil Court is that Notice of Motion No.4443 of 2015 filed by Plaintiff No.2 is allowed which contemplates Court Receiver of this Court taking back the possession of business and properties of the partnership firm and appointment of Plaintiff No.2 as the agent of the Court Receiver in respect thereof. Notice of Motion No.4970 of 2015 filed by legal heirs of Defendant No.1 for appointment of Manoj Manilal Gala (Defendant No.1b) as Agent of the Court Receiver in respect of business and properties of partnership firm has been rejected.
