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

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

being remitted to enable the revision petitioner to establish payment and

full satisfaction of claims of all creditors.

6.Per contra, Mr.K.Myilsamy, the leaned counsel appearing for the

contesting 13th respondent would contend that the E.P was filed way back

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
