Performance Overview

During the year under review, there were no operations. The lead Institution i.e. IDBI Ltd. and IFCI have filed a suit before the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) madras and ICICI have also filed a suit before the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Mumbai for recovery of their dues.

ICICI had also sued the company before the Mumbai high court and an official receiver as appointed by the court took over the possession of the suit securities on 14.08.1998. Mumbai high court transferred this case to DRT Mumbai. On request of ICICI, DRT Mumbai has appointed a private receiver in place of court receiver. As per direction of DRT Mumbai, ICICI /Receiver made an advertisement in the newspaper on 27.11.2002 for sale / disposal of assets of the company Viz. floating dry docks, Machineries, furniture and fixtures, vehicles stores and spares etc. on as is where is basis and as is what is basis. These assets as intimated by DRT receiver have since been disposed off. The company had filed a counter claim on ICICI (Lead Bank) amounting to Rs. 210 cr.

Further pending decision in the matter of company's claim on ICICI (Lead Bank) amounting to Rs.210 crores, on account of the institution company has suffered loss which resulted in a total loss of company's most valuable assets which had a

value more than sufficient to meet the claims of all secured and/or unsecured creditors. By failing to carry out timely maintenance despite reminders from the Court Receiver, High Court, Mumbai and others the financial institutions allowed dissipation and ultimate destruction of the two dry docks and other imported & indigenous machineries. Therefore the cost of fixed assets (net of relevant revaluation reserve) less depreciation provided till the date of disposal and value of inventories aggregating to Rs.48.81 crores as intimated by DRT Receiver has been deducted from secured loans. In view of above, the management is of the considered opinion that no amount whatsoever is due and payable to the Financial Institutions.
