A.M. Khanwilkar, J.1. Heard Counsel for the parties.2. Preliminary objection is taken by the Counsel representing the employees (in all 57) working in the Office of the Official Liquidator as Company Paid Staff. According to Mr. Kumbhakoni, the direction prayed in the report of the Official Liquidator dated 7th January 2009 cannot be considered, much less, granted, as it would be in excess of the scope for exercising review jurisdiction.3.
