Shah and another one dated<br \/>\n\t21.12.2005 submitted by Shri Vinod R. Trivedi, and also informing<br \/>\n\tthe Court about large instances of theft which has not been reported<br \/>\n\tto the Official Liquidator by the Security Agency, namely, M\/s.<br \/>\n\tModern Safe Guard Pvt. Ltd.  The Official Liquidator has further<br \/>\n\tprayed for change in the security agency and entrusting the security<br \/>\n\twork to M\/s.Noble Detective &amp; Security Services Pvt. Ltd., and<br \/>\n\tfixing their remuneration.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tThis Court has issued<br \/>\n\tnotice on 17.11.2006 and directed the responsible officer from<br \/>\n\trespondent Nos.5 and 6 to remain personally present before the Court<br \/>\n\ton the next date of hearing i.e. 1.12.2006.  Since the notices could<br \/>\n\tnot be served on the respondent Nos.5 and 6, nobody remained present<br \/>\n\tbefore the Court.  However, at the relevant time the respondent No.5<br \/>\n\twas incharge of the security work and hence bailable warrant was<br \/>\n\tissued on Shri Jaydeep Singh   Director of M\/s. Modern Safe Guard<br \/>\n\tPvt. Ltd.  On behalf of the respondent No.5 Mr. B.T.Rao, learned<br \/>\n\tadvocate filed his appearance and direction was issued to respondent<br \/>\n\tNo.5 to remain personally present.  On 6.3.2007 time was sought for<br \/>\n\ton behalf of the respondent No.5 to file detailed affidavit-in-reply<br \/>\n\tafter inspection of the record like inventory etc. from the office<br \/>\n\tof the Official Liquidator, despite the fact that detailed affidavit<br \/>\n\twas filed on behalf of the respondent No.5 on 23.2.2007.  This Court<br \/>\n\thas observed in its order dated 24.4.2007 that as per the valuation<br \/>\n\treport dated 22.4.1998 submitted by the Valuer Shri Mukesh M. Shah,<br \/>\n\tplants, machineries and other movables at the relevant time were<br \/>\n\tworth Rs.1,72,75,000\/- and then security agency was appointed.<br \/>\n\tInspite of that when subsequent valuation was carried out by Shri<br \/>\n\tVinod R. Trivedi on 21.12.2005,  it was found that plants,<br \/>\n\tmachineries and other movables were worth Rs.1,05,000\/- only.  The<br \/>\n\tCourt, therefore, directed the Official Liquidator to file detailed<br \/>\n\tcriminal complaint with the concerned Police Station immediately for<br \/>\n\ttheft etc, on or before 30.4.2007 and the concerned Police Authority<br \/>\n\t\/ Police Inspector of the concerned Police Station was directed to<br \/>\n\tinvestigate the said FIR immediately.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tPursuant to the order<br \/>\n\tdated 24.4.2007 the Official Liquidator issued a letter dated<br \/>\n\t30.4.2007 to the Police Inspector, Kalol, Dist. Panchmahal under<br \/>\n\twhose jurisdiction the Company situated and also deputed an Official<br \/>\n\tfrom his office to Kalol Police Station, Dist. Panchmahal to file<br \/>\n\tdetailed criminal complaint for theft etc.  The complaint has been<br \/>\n\tregistered as FIR No.85 of 2007 on 1.5.2007 and the said FIR was<br \/>\n\tplaced on record of this Court alongwith Official Liquidator&#8217;s<br \/>\n\tReport dated 2.5.2007.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tOn behalf of the<br \/>\n\trespondent No.5 additional affidavit was filed on 9.7.2007<br \/>\n\treiterating that the respondent No.5 is not responsible for the<br \/>\n\talleged theft committed at the factory premises.  The Court,<br \/>\n\tthereafter, vide its order dated 26.9.2007 directed the Official<br \/>\n\tLiquidator to file report based on the communications received by<br \/>\n\tthe Official Liquidator from the concerned Police Station in<br \/>\n\tconnection with the complaint of theft. The Official Liquidator was<br \/>\n\talso directed to file report as to whether the very security agency<br \/>\n\twas looking after  any property of the Company in liquidation or not<br \/>\n\tand if yes, the details thereof.  Pursuant to this order the<br \/>\n\tOfficial Liquidator has filed his report dated 14.12.2007.  In his<br \/>\n\treport he has stated that the security services of M\/s. Modern Safe<br \/>\n\tGuard Pvt. Ltd., have been taken away from the factory premises of<br \/>\n\tthe Company as well as of other companies in liquidation where the<br \/>\n\tconcerns of Shri T.V. Singh were assigned the work of safeguarding<br \/>\n\tassets of the Company.  It was further stated in the said report<br \/>\n\tthat before change of the security arrangement, the valuation of the<br \/>\n\tassets of the Company was obtained and large discrepancy was found<br \/>\n\tbetween two valuation reports.  Since Mr. B.T.Rao, learned advocate<br \/>\n\tappearing for the respondent No.5 has stated before the Court on<br \/>\n\tthat day that he could not contact his client and his presence was<br \/>\n\trequired, the Court has issued non-bailable warrant on Shri T.V.<br \/>\n\tSingh, the authorised person of respondent No.5.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tBefore the Non-bailable<br \/>\n\twarrant could be served on the respondent No.5, an application being<br \/>\n\tCompany Application No.170 of 2008 is filed on behalf of the<br \/>\n\trespondent No.5, praying for cancellation of Non-bailable warrant<br \/>\n\tand undertaking to this Court that the respondent No.5 would remain<br \/>\n\tpresent as and when any direction is issued by this Court.  Since<br \/>\n\tShri T. V. Singh against whom Non-bailable warrant was issued was<br \/>\n\tpresent before the Court on 5.3.2008,  non-bailable warrant issued<br \/>\n\tby this Court on 19.2.2008 was kept in abeyance.  On 14.3.2008, this<br \/>\n\tCourt has observed in its order on the basis of submission made by<br \/>\n\tMr. B.T.Rao that the charge-sheet has been filed and hence the copy<br \/>\n\tof the charge-sheet is required to be placed on record.  The Court,<br \/>\n\ttherefore, directed the Official Liquidator to verify from his<br \/>\n\trecord and to produce the same on the record of this application.<br \/>\n\tPursuant to to the order dated 14.3.2008 the Official Liquidator has<br \/>\n\tfiled his report on 18.3.2008 stating that the copy of charge-sheet<br \/>\n\twas not made available to the Official Liquidator he, therefore,<br \/>\n\twrote letter to the concerned Police Station on 18.3.2008 and<br \/>\n\tassured the Court that as and when the charge-sheet is received the<br \/>\n\tsame will be placed on the record.  It appears that the charge-sheet<br \/>\n\thas not come on record till this date.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tIn the above background<br \/>\n\tof the matter, detailed submissions were made by the learned<br \/>\n\tadvocates appearing on behalf of the respective parties.  Ms. Amee<br \/>\n\tYajnik, learned advocate appearing for the Official Liquidator, Mr.<br \/>\n\tBharat Jani, learned advocate appearing for IFCI and Mr. Indravadan<br \/>\n\tParmar, learned advocate appearing for IDBI, have strongly submitted<br \/>\n\tthat theft on large scale has been committed during the tenure of<br \/>\n\tthe respondent No.5 and hence the respondent No.5 cannot be absolved<br \/>\n\tfrom its responsibility. Irrespective of the Criminal complaint that<br \/>\n\thas been filed against the respondent No.5 the loss caused to the<br \/>\n\tCompany of the assets that have been stolen away should be made good<br \/>\n\tby the respondent No.5 and the Official Liquidator should be<br \/>\n\tdirected to initiate proceeding for recovery of the amount.  Not<br \/>\n\tonly this, no payment should be made to the respondent No.5 against<br \/>\n\tits outstanding dues, if any.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tMr. B.T.Rao, learned<br \/>\n\tadvocate appearing for the respondent No.5 on the other hand, has<br \/>\n\tstrongly urged that the Official Liquidator has not placed true and<br \/>\n\tcorrect facts before this Court and he has tried to mislead the<br \/>\n\tCourt by making wild allegations against the respondent No.5 without<br \/>\n\tverifying true and correct facts.  He has further submitted that<br \/>\n\tM\/s. Gujarat B.D. Luggage Ltd. was before the BIFR under SICA Act,<br \/>\n\t1985 and the BIFR did not agree as the agreement submitted by the<br \/>\n\tDirector was not viable and BIFR forwarded its opinion for winding<br \/>\n\tup of the Company. Thereupon the registry of this Court has received<br \/>\n\tregistered Company Petition No.100 of 1997 and matter has been<br \/>\n\tplaced before the Court.  This Court issued notice on 28.7.1997 and<br \/>\n\tthe Official Liquidator was appointed as Provisional Liquidator by<br \/>\n\torder dated 28.7.1997.  On 1.9.1997 the Official Liquidator wrote<br \/>\n\tthe respondent No.5 to work as security agency on usual prevailing<br \/>\n\trate for payment of security agency for the protection of the assets<br \/>\n\tof the Company.  He has further submitted that the Official<br \/>\n\tLiquidator sealed the factory premises and only small gate was kept<br \/>\n\topen for moving in and out of the security agency.  No inventory had<br \/>\n\tbeen taken in the presence of the security agency at any point of<br \/>\n\ttime nor it was given to the respondent No.5.  He has further<br \/>\n\tsubmitted that the valuer appointed by the Official Liquidator had<br \/>\n\tvisited the factory premises on 24.4.1998.  There also the signature<br \/>\n\tof any guard deployed there had not been taken.  He has further<br \/>\n\tsubmitted that after 1998 regular inspection took place and<br \/>\n\trepresentatives of the secured creditors were visiting the premises<br \/>\n\tand they took round of the premises on their own.  He has further<br \/>\n\tsubmitted that the respondent No.5 was not getting regular payment<br \/>\n\tinspite of  various requests made to the Official Liquidator.  It<br \/>\n\twas made clear to the Official Liquidator that if the payments were<br \/>\n\tnot made in time, the respondent No.5 would not be responsible to<br \/>\n\tguard the properties of the Company.  He has further submitted that<br \/>\n\tthe Sale Committee was constituted and property was put to sell,<br \/>\n\thowever no offer was received.  He has further submitted that<br \/>\n\tanother valuation report was taken.  However, the same was not as<br \/>\n\tper the practice and procedure adopted by the valuer.  If one would<br \/>\n\tcompare both the valuation reports, it would be very clear that in<br \/>\n\t1998 value of the land was Rs.95 lacs and in 2005 the same has been<br \/>\n\treduced to Rs.14 lacs.  In no circumstances, the valuation of the<br \/>\n\timmovable property can be decreased.  He has further submitted that<br \/>\n\tthe valuer has not looked into the plant, furniture, fixture and<br \/>\n\tvague valuation has been made.  He has further submitted that in the<br \/>\n\tsubsequent report of 2005 the valuer has not mentioned anything<br \/>\n\tabout details of the machineries and only three lots have been shown<br \/>\n\twhile earlier report give different items in lotwise for every<br \/>\n\tparticular item.  He has, therefore, submitted that in absence of<br \/>\n\tany documentary evidence such as list of machineries which was there<br \/>\n\tin the first inventory in 1997 and detailed inventory made in the<br \/>\n\tfirst valuation report of 1998, supplied to the respondent No.5, no<br \/>\n\tliability can be fastened on the respondent No.5.  He has further<br \/>\n\tsubmitted that it was not the case of the Official Liquidator that<br \/>\n\tthe lock applied by it has been broken and in absence of that the<br \/>\n\tvaluation report is required to be rejected.  He has further<br \/>\n\tsubmitted that since the property was scattered in the large area<br \/>\n\tand during the midnight if something had happened, it was not within<br \/>\n\tthe knowledge of the respondent No.5 and that the respondent No.5<br \/>\n\twas not aware as to which type of machineries were there in the<br \/>\n\tpremises.  Considering all these submissions, he has submitted that<br \/>\n\tthe respondent No.5 is not at all responsible for any theft that has<br \/>\n\tbeen taken place in the factory premises of the Company in<br \/>\n\tliquidation.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tHaving heard the learned<br \/>\n\tadvocates appearing for the respective parties and having gone<br \/>\n\tthrough the report filed by the Official Liquidator as well as the<br \/>\n\taffidavit-in-reply filed on behalf of the respondent No.5 and having<br \/>\n\tconsidered the two valuation reports as well as other documents on<br \/>\n\trecord, the Court is of the view that the work of protecting and<br \/>\n\tsafeguarding the assets of the Company has been assigned to the<br \/>\n\trespondent No.5 way back in 1997 and from that date onwards the<br \/>\n\trespondent No.5 was incharge of the said work.  The first valuation<br \/>\n\treport was obtained on 22.4.1998 and the second valuation report was<br \/>\n\tobtained on 21.12.2005.  Till then the respondent No.5 was incharge<br \/>\n\tof safeguarding the assets of the Company in liquidation.  It is,<br \/>\n\ttherefore, clear that the movable assets were stolen or removed<br \/>\n\tduring the tenure of the respondent No.5.\n<\/p>\n<p>Sr.No.\n<\/p>\n<p>Description of<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tproperty <\/p>\n<p>Amount<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tas per valuation report submitted by Shri Mukesh M.

Nil as against<br \/>\n\tRs.50 lacs shown in the valuation report dated 22.4.2008.  The<br \/>\n\texplanation given by the respondent No.5 is not at all tenable and<br \/>\n\tit gives an impression that the respondent No.5 wanted to serk from<br \/>\n\tits responsibility.  It is relevant to note that Shri T.V.Singh was<br \/>\n\toriginally running a concern, namely, M\/s. Industrial Personnel and<br \/>\n\tSecurity Services and work of securing and safeguarding the assets<br \/>\n\tof the Company, namely, The Ahmedabad Manufacturing &amp; Calico<br \/>\n\tPrinting Mills Co. Ltd., was assigned to him.  This Court vide order<br \/>\n\tdated 17.8.2005 passed in OLR No.112 of 2003 has directed the<br \/>\n\tOfficial Liquidator to recover an amount of Rs.6,19,04,660\/- from<br \/>\n\tM\/s. Industrial Personnel and Security Services a concern of Shri<br \/>\n\tT.V.Singh as stated in the minutes of the meeting of Sale Committee<br \/>\n\theld on 10.8.2006.  It is, therefore, clear that Shri Singh is in<br \/>\n\tthe habit of indulging in such practice of removing the assets of<br \/>\n\tthe company in liquidation, whenever any work is assigned he has<br \/>\n\tdone the same thing.  This Court has, therefore, no hesitation in<br \/>\n\tholding that the respondent No.5 with which Mr.Singh is closely<br \/>\n\tassociated is responsible for the theft committed and the Official<br \/>\n\tLiquidator has rightly changed the security agency and stopped the<br \/>\n\tpayment of its outstanding dues, if any.  Mere stopping of payment<br \/>\n\twould not serve any purpose as the loss caused to the Company in<br \/>\n\tliquidation is much more and the huge recovery is required to be<br \/>\n\tmade against the respondent No.5 as well as the other concern with<br \/>\n\twhich Mr. T.V.Singh is associated.  The Official Liquidator is,<br \/>\n\ttherefore, directed to look into the matter and vigorously pursue<br \/>\n\tfor recovery of the amount.  The Official Liquidator is further<br \/>\n\tdirected to ascertain the status of the criminal complaint that has<br \/>\n\tbeen filed and file a fresh report before this Court placing the<br \/>\n\tcharge-sheet on record and any development that has been taken place<br \/>\n\tin the criminal complaint pending before the Criminal Court at<br \/>\n\tKalol.  The action of the Official Liquidator in entrusting the work<br \/>\n\tof security to the respondent No.6 is hereby ratified.  The Official<br \/>\n\tLiquidator is further directed to undertake the procedure for sale<br \/>\n\tof the assets of the company in liquidation after fixing the<br \/>\n\tdetailed schedule in consultation with the secured creditors.  After<br \/>\n\tascertaining the status of criminal case the Official Liquidator<br \/>\n\tshall file a fresh report before this Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tSubject to the aforesaid<br \/>\n\tdirections and observations this OLR as well as Company Application<br \/>\n\tboth are disposed off.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t                       (K.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tA.
