The factory of Nakoda Steel was taken into possession by Rajasthan Financial Corporation. The same was purchased by one Harbhajan Singh, Proprietor of M/s. Rajguru Textiles Traders - respondent No. 2 in auction. Thereafter, the said property was purchased by the petitioner from Harbhajan Singh, Proprietor of M/s.

He thus, prayed that impugned order is liable to be set aside.

(3.) BE that as it may.
