27…………………….. It is not a petition for recovery of any disputed debt. The amount in question is clearly payable by the respondent-company to the petitioners which is on account of salary and allowances, etc. In spite of giving an assurance to make the payment, the dues are not paid. The defense put forth by the respondent-company is clearly sham. Therefore, I am of prima facie view that debt is payable by the company and it is unable to pay the same.
28. In view of the circumstances explained above, following directions are given:
(a) CP No. 244/2004 is admitted to hearing. Citations shall be published in 'The Statesman'(English) and 'Jansatta'(Hindi) for 8-11-2005. The Official Liquidator attached to this Court is appointed as the Provisional Liquidator, who shall take charge of the assets and records of the company.

(c) In case the amount is not deposited within six weeks, the petitioners shall take steps for getting the citations published. For publication of citations both the petitioners shall share the expenses in equal proportion. The Official Liquidator, in that eventuality, shall take immediate steps as per the aforesaid directions.
