division of JK Synthetics Ltd.) to JK Enterprises Ltd. Rishra Municipality circulated a
public notice thereby inviting objections/suggestions from the public at large. No
objections or dispute was raised by any person. Hence, Rishra Municipality after following
due process of law, was pleased to grant mutation in favour of the company.
That while the company was in the possession of the land, there was an
order from the Hon'ble High Court of Calcutta ("High Court") directing the
Official Liquidator of Rishra Steel Ltd. to take charge and custody of the land. The
company had filed an appeal against the said order before the Division Bench of the High
Court. The High Court during the pendency of the matter has recorded an observation

conveyance deed. The aforesaid appeal has been disposed off by the High Court, giving the
company liberty to agitate all the claims before the Kolkata bench of the Hon'ble
NCLT ("NCLT").
The intervention application was listed on many occasions and was also
heard at length by the Hon'ble bench, however, the NCLT rejected the application
filed by the company on the grounds that the ownership of the land in question is disputed
and cannot be ascertained by NCLT. Pertinently, it was also observed that the land was
sold to Rishra in exchange of consideration, but conveyance deed was not executed by the
parties. In light of the above and based on the true facts and circumstances, the company
has accepted the order of NCLT and has decided not to prefer an appeal to the aforesaid
impugned order of the NCLT.
