..... th December, 1972, the official liquidator, upon the directions of the company judge, granted to the respondent leave and licence to use the greater part of the said premises (hereinafter called "the licensed premises") for industrial and commercial purposes, including warehousing and storage of goods belonging to her and to her customers and clients and for ancillary purposes. The agreement was for 5 years. On 27th June, 1977, after the company court's directions had been obtained, a fresh agreement was entered into between the official liquidator and the respondent in similar terms. Clauses 6, 9, 14, 18 and 20 of the said agreements read as under : "6. Notwithstanding anything contained in clause No. 5 of the agreement, the licensor m .....

..... official liquidator and the licensee or about the interpretation of these terms and conditions or incidental or in any-wise relating thereto the same will be referred to the Hon'ble Judge of the High Court at Bombay taking company matters whose decision shall be binding on both the official liquidator and the licensee." On 21st December, 1972, in respect of the earlier agreement and on 27th June, 1977, in respect of the later agreement, the respondent gave undertakings to the court that she would not transfer her possession as licensee and the rights and benefits which she held under the agreements and that she would observe and comply with her obligations thereunder.

..... t-in-reply filed by the respondent deal with paras. 12 and 13 of the affidavit-in-support. In these paragraphs there is no denial whatsoever of the allegation that a motor garage is being conducted in the licensed premises, and that one shed has been given to Haryana Breweries Ltd. and another shed to Narendra Company ; nor have the photographs been referred to, although I was fairly told by Mr. Kapadia, learned counsel for the respondent, that they had been inspected by the respondent. No explanation has been given about the motor garage, Haryana Breweries and Narendra and Co. In so far as the motor garage was concerned, Mr. Kapadia stated that the respondents had not seen the visiting card because it had not been disclosed. He state .....

It seems to me patent that to accommodate in the said premises each of the three parties, viz., the firm conducting the motor garage, Haryana Breweries Ltd. and Narendra Co., a camouflage has been resorted to. It does not seem reasonable that Haryana Breweries should be permitted to paint their name all over the front of one shed of the licensed premises if all that is happening is that their goods are being warehoused in the licensed premises by the respondent.

..... rt should be trifled with, and I am convinced that firm action should be taken against those who have the temerity to do so. The basis upon which the court granted permission must first and foremost be restored ; if not restored the permission must stand revoked. I direct the official liquidator forthwith to issue a notice to the respondent specifying the breaches I have referred to above and to call upon the respondent to remedy the same within a fortnight of the date of the receipt by her of such notice. In the event of the breaches not being remedied within that time, the official liquidator is directed to act forthwith under the terms of clause (9) of the agreements. The judge's summons qua prayers ( b ), ( c ), ( d ) and ( e ) sta .....
