It was further contended that the disputed house cannot be auctioned for the payment of interest as it does not belong to the firm and the same is of Udairaj and his HUF and the possession of the attached house be given back to the appellants L.Rs. of deceased Udairaj and also submitted that the property of the insolvent be discharged.
Mr. G.R. Singhvi, learned Counsel for the respondent has not disputed and admitted that entire dues have been paid but submitted that the property is to be retained for the payment of future interest and has also submitted that without other creditors having been made a party this question cannot be decided.;
