INTERIM APPLICATION NO.1803 OF 2022
4 Mr. Bapat states that sometime in November 2020 the business of petitioner was taken over by an LLP, viz., Ajanta Innovative Solutions LLP, in which petitioner also was a partner alongwith his two sons. Mr. Bapat states that petitioner has died on 18th April 2021 and since it was during the COVID time, he was unable to get proper instructions. Mr. Bapat states that he has filed an interim application in April 2022 to bring the sons of petitioner on record, whereas it should be the Limited Liability Partnership (LLP). We are not commenting on the merits of the application but Mr. Bapat seeks leave of the Court to withdraw the application with liberty to file a fresh application to bring the LLP on record as petitioner.
