Facts of the Case
In the given case, the Applicant – liquidator of corporate debtor by way of application sought permission for immediate sale of inventory of corporate debtor by way of e-auction.
The Applicant submitted that there were certain expired finished products, i.e., Olein and Refined Palm Oil, forming part of the inventory of corporate debtor and said inventory was not fit for human consumption, however, it was of use for other edible oil manufacturers for purpose of reprocessing along with crude oil and industrial users such as soap manufacturers.
