ORDER
The judgment debtor in insolvency proceedings is the revision
petition.
2.I have heard Mr.N.Umapathi, learned counsel for the revision
petitioner, Mr.T.Dhanyakumar, learned counsel for the 12th respondent
and Mr.K.Myilsamy, learned counsel for the contesting 13th respondent.
3.Mr.N.Umapathi, learned counsel for the revision petitioner would
contended that the revision petitioner was declared insolvent, at his
instance in insolvency proceedings in I.P.No.11 of 1989 on the file of the
Sub-court, Salem. The petitioner had moved an application in I.A.No.55
of 2010 for annulling the adjudication of the revision petitioner as an
insolvent. He would further contend that all the creditors had been fully
settled by the petitioner and unfortunately, the liquidator had not brought
it to the notice of the Court. Further, the Court also dismissed the

##PAGE3##application on a technical ground that the auction purchaser had not been
included by the revision petitioner. He would further contend that
excepting the 10th creditor, the claims of all other creditors had been fully
settled and satisfied and colluding with his grandson, the auction
purchaser, the 10th creditor has refused to receive the amounts tendered,
in full and final settlement.
4.The learned counsel for the revision petitioner would also invite
my attention to the memo filed by the petitioner seeking permission to
deposit the amounts due and payable to the 10th creditor. The learned
counsel for the petitioner would therefore state that when the petitioner
had settled the claims of all the creditors, he was entitled to an order,
annulling his adjudication as an insolvent. He would further contend that
the provisions of Order XXI Rule 95 of CPC were not complied with at the
time of taking possession, after the auction purchaser purchased the
subject property and that the signature of the petitioner was not obtained
at the time of delivery.
5.Lastly, Mr.N.Umapathi, learned counsel for the petitioner would
contend that the execution petition ought to have been filed by the
petitioner within one year, but admittedly, the E.P was not filed within the
statutory period of limitation. He would therefore pray for the matter

in the year 1989 and the petitioner was declared as an insolvent as early as
on 28.03.1989.The auction was held on 05.02.2009 and the 13th
respondent purchased the property at the auction in 2010. He would
further contend that the documents that are filed along with the typeset of
papers contain copies of alleged receipts from certain creditors and they
have all been created for the purpose of filing of the present r
