Heard learned Counsel appearing for the parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. This appeal by the creditor is directed against the order dated 31.8.2002 passed on an application filed in I.C.No.  27\/2000 by the Official Receiver under Section 53 read with Section 4 and 5 of the<br \/>\nProvincial Insolvency Act, 1920 (&#8216;the Act&#8217; for short) for annulling of the two sale-deeds dated 19.12.1998 and 23.7.1999 executed in favour of respondent Nos. 4 and 5 respectively.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. The order impugned reads thus:\n<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The receiver filed application on 14.6.2002 for annulment of sale-deeds after the applications filed by applicant-Laxminarasamma on 15.2.2002. The application dated 14.6.2002 not brought to the notice when arguing on application. So now, cannot be corrected the observations made in order.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>4. The Court below has disposed of the application summarily.\n<\/p>\n<p>The impugned order is not tenable in law as it is not in conformity<br \/>\nwith Section 53 of the Act. It is not even a speaking order. It is relevant<br \/>\nto notice Section 53 of the Act which reads as follows:\n<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;53. Avoidance of Voluntary transfer &#8211; Any transfer of property not being a transfer made before and in consideration of marriage or made in favour of a purchaser or incumbrancer in good faith and for valuable consideration shall, if the transferor is adjudged insolvent on a petition   presented within two years after the date of the transfer, be voidable as against the receiver and may be annulled by the Court.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>5. Obviously, a proceeding under Section 53 of the Act is in the nature of a suit in the matter of pleadings, framing of issues, taking of evidence and the giving of judgment. It cannot be disposed of summarily.\n<\/p>\n<p>6. The impugned order is liable to be set aside on the sole ground of not being a speaking order. Hence it is not necessary to refer to the other infirmities in the impugned proceeding.\n<\/p>\n<p>7. In the result, I make the following order:\n<\/p>\n<p>i) The impugned order is set aside.\n<\/p>\n<p>ii) The matter is remitted to the Court below with a direction to dispose of the application afresh in accordance with law and after hearing the parties including Respondent Nos. 4 &amp; 5 who are the purchasers under the sale-deeds in question.\n<\/p>\n<p>The appeal is allowed in the above terms. No costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karnataka High Court S.T. Meenakshi vs T.
