Official Liquidator, Hukumchand Mills Ltd. And Ors. Respondents

JUDGEMENT

KURIAN JOSEPH, J. - (1.) Leave granted.
(2.) The limited grievance with which the Appellant-State has come up before this Court is that the liberty sought by it before the learned Company Judge to file a suit has been declined.
