Sharad Manohar, J.1. By my earlier order dated 18th August, 1986. I had directed the appointment of Receiver in respect of the suit premises and the Receiver was directed to take possession of the suit premises from the defendant and to remain in possession of the same until further orders. There is no dispute that the order has been complied with, at least, substantially. There is some dispute as to whether the possession of all parts of the suit premises have been taken or not.
