expenses for protecting the said assets which were lying in the premises of

the respondent no.3, Bhoomi Minerals Limited (in liquidation).

As an interim order, we direct the appellant to keep a sum of Rs.20

lakhs in a separate account by 17th January 2022 upon intimation to the

other parties and the official liquidator, till the disposal of this appeal or until

further orders, whichever is earlier.

against the appellant in terms of the impugned order. Upon compliance with

the above condition, this status quo will continue till disposal of the appeal.

available to him in accordance with law.

As the respondents are represented by learned counsel, we dispense

Other formalities are dispensed with.

We direct advocate on record for the appellant to prepare an informal

paper book and file the same in this court by 28th January, 2022, serving a
