From the above, it is clear that they are related parties to the Corporate Debtor. This application has been filed by the applicants in order to flout the directions contained the above order. Since the Corporate Debtor’s suspended Directors Mr. Thomas George and Mrs. Asha Mary Tomas are having 100% shares in the 2nd and 3rd applicant companies and their son and daughter in law having 100% share in the 1st applicant company, they are estopped from raising such a claim that they want to get the reliefs sought in this application. Strictly speaking the properties mentioned in his application has been admittedly purchased by the 3rd applicant, which is a related party to the Corporate Debtor as per Section 5(24A) of the IBC, 2016 and that the 3rd applicant did not raise such claims over these properties by failing an objection to the Section 66 application while it was adjudicated - Since no third party came forward with such a request and the that the applicants are related parties to the Corporate Debtor, the Liquidator need not release such properties, as those properties are of the Corporate Debtor and the Liquidator have full control over them. Since these applicants are related parties of the Cooperate Debtor, they are approaching with this application raising the issue that the generator and motors belong to BSNL, FACT, and KMML and they are the customers of the 2nd applicant and they brought it for repairs - there are no reason to interfere in the matter and grant any relief to the applicants - application dismissed.
