Case Note & Summary
The case involved Dena Bank as the plaintiff in a civil suit against Mrs. Maria David Nathan and another defendant. The plaintiffs sought permission from the court to dispose of certain goods by private treaty. The court reviewed a valuation report dated 27th April 1991, prepared by K.H. Parkar, which concluded that the goods had no significant value. Based on this report, the court signed the Judge's Order allowing the disposal of the goods. The decision was made in light of the findings in the valuation report, which indicated that the goods were not worth any valuation, thus justifying the plaintiffs' request for disposal.
