From a perusal of the record, it appears that the requisition made by the bank under Section 5 of the Act does not contain the verification required to be made in Form II. The original requisition contains blanks. The petitioner, therefore, is justified in submitting that there is no proper requisition in the proper form as required by Section 5 of the Act. 2. What is, however, more surprising is the fact that the certificate officer has not signed the certificate in the prescribed form and caused the certificate to be filed in his office. In the eye of law, therefore, there is no certificate and in the absence of a certificate being duly signed and filed in his office, the certificate officer could not issue a notice to thecert...
